Office 365 Granular user license management

Office 365 license assignment to Azure AD users is controlled or restricted by creating a new provisioning policy and applying the policy to the Organizational Unit.

To create and apply the new policy

From the Active Roles Console, create a Policy Object. For instructions on creating a policy object, see the section Creating a Policy Object, in the Active Roles Administration Guide.
