Applying a new M365 and Azure Tenant Selection policy

Microsoft 365 user license management

  1. From the Web Interface, assign, or modify the Microsoft 365 license for an Azure AD User.

    The Policy is triggered for any Azure AD user in the Organization Unit for which the M365 and Azure Tenant selection policy is applied.

    If the policy conditions are not satisfied while assigning or modifying Azure AD User licenses, the following policy violation error is displayed:

    Provisioning policy failure. The 'O365 and Azure Tenant Selection' policy encountered an error. Exception in Azure Tenant Management Policy violation: The Azure user License(s) O365_BUSINESS_ESSENTIALS-PROJECTWORKMANAGEMENT, cannot be assigned. The policy prescribes that this Azure User requires only the specified license in the policy object to be assigned.

  2. To check whether there are any policy violations, right-click and select Check Policy

    For a container object, this displays the Check Policy dialog.

  3. Review the options in the Check Policy dialog and click OK.

    The Policy Check Results window is displayed.

    IMPORTANT: Office 365 user license management now allows Administrator to select a subset of the licenses selected in policy during user creation or modification.

Microsoft 365 user roles management through provisioning policy

From the Web Interface, assign or modify the Microsoft 365 roles for an Azure AD User.

If the policy conditions are not satisfied while assigning Azure AD User roles while creating an Azure AD user from the Active Roles Web Interface, the following policy violation error is displayed:

Provisioning policy failure. The 'O365 and Azure Tenant Selection' policy encountered an error. Exception in Azure Tenant Management Policy violation: The Azure user Role(s) cannot be assigned. The policy prescribes that this Azure User requires only the specified role in the policy object to be assigned.

Provisioning OneDrive for Azure AD users

  1. From the Web Interface, create an Azure AD User, and assign a valid SharePoint Online license.

  2. After the user is created, the OneDrive provisioning process is performed in the background and after some time the process is completed.

    NOTE: Consider the following when provisioning OneDrive for Azure AD users

    • If the SharePoint Admin URL is incorrect then the OneDrive provisioning is not successful.

    • For an existing Azure AD user, during modification of user properties:

      • If OneDrive is not provisioned, then OneDrive provisioning is triggered.

      • If OneDrive is provisioned, and any changes are made to the OneDrive provisioning policy, then the policy changes are applied on the user.

  3. To check the provisioning result, open the Azure Properties window for the user from the Web Interface, navigate to OneDrive tab.

    On successful provisioning of the user, the OneDrive URL, the used storage size, and the total storage size are displayed.

    NOTE: The storage size indicated in the policy gets synchronized to the Azure AD user's OneDrive.

Microsoft 365 roles management for hybrid environment users

Active Roles allows you to perform the following Microsoft 365 roles management tasks for hybrid users:

  • Assign Microsoft 365 roles to existing hybrid users

  • Modify or remove Microsoft 365 roles assigned to hybrid users

  • Microsoft 365 user roles management

IMPORTANT: The Active Roles Web Interface only displays Azure roles that have been enabled. To list the Microsoft 365 Roles on the Web Interface, run the following commands.

  • To get the guest inviter directory role template, run $roleTemplate = Get-AzureADDirectoryRoleTemplate | ? { $_.DisplayName -eq "Guest Inviter" }.

  • To enable an instance of the DirectoryRole template, run Enable-AzureADDirectoryRole -RoleTemplateId $roleTemplate.ObjectId.

For more information on allowing the Azure roles to be listed on the Web Interface, see Enabling Azure Roles.
