Managing Microsoft Entra ID subscription and Microsoft Entra ID service plan assignments

The user requires a Microsoft Entra ID subscription to access the service plans in Microsoft Entra ID. An Microsoft Entra ID subscription defines the scope of service plans that the user can access. Use of individual service plans by the user can be permitted or not.

Example:

The Microsoft Entra ID subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.

  • The subscription A is assigned to the user.

  • The user is not permitted service plan 2.

Therefore, the user can use service plans 1 and 3.

In Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions can be assigned to users and groups. Service plans can be permitted or not depending on the assignment method. The user obtains all the permitted service plans.

Example:

The Microsoft Entra ID subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.

  • The Microsoft Entra ID subscription A is assigned directly to the user.

  • The user is not permitted service plan 2.

The Microsoft Entra ID subscription B contains the service plan 4, service plan 5, and the service plan 6.

  • The Microsoft Entra ID subscription B is assigned to group A.

  • The group A is not permitted to use service plan 6.

  • The user is in group A.

Therefore, the user can use service plans 1, 3, 4, and 5.

It is possible that a user obtains the same Microsoft Entra ID subscription directly as well as through one or more groups. If a service plan is permitted by one assignment method and not by another, the user is given the service plan.

Example:

The Microsoft Entra ID subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.

  • The Microsoft Entra ID subscription A is assigned directly to the user.

  • The user is not permitted to use service plan 2.

  • The Microsoft Entra ID subscription A is assigned to group A.

  • All service plans for the group A are allowed.

  • The user is in group A.

Therefore, the user can use service plans 1, 2, and 3.

In One Identity Manager, Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions and service plans and their assignments to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts and Microsoft Entra ID groups are mapped as follows.

Table 19: Microsoft Entra ID subscription and service plans in the One Identity Manager schema map

Table

Description

AADSubSku

This table contains all Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions. The information about Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions within a Microsoft Entra ID tenant is loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot create new Microsoft Entra ID subscription in One Identity Manager.

AADServicePlan

This table contains the service plans. The information about service plans within a Microsoft Entra ID tenant is loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot create new service plans in One Identity Manager.

AADServicePlanInSubSku

This table contains service plan assignments to Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions. The assignments are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot edit the assignments in One Identity Manager.

AADDeniedServicePlan

This table contains service plan assignments to Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions for mapping service plans that are not permitted. The entries are created automatically in One Identity Manager after synchronizing Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions.

Service plans that are not permitted are called "disabled service plans" in One Identity Manager. By assigning a disabled service plans to a Microsoft Entra ID user account in One Identity Manager, you disable the use of this service plan in Microsoft Entra ID.

AADUserHasSubSku

This table contains Microsoft Entra ID subscription assignments to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts. It maps direct assignments of Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts and assignments that a Microsoft Entra ID user accounts obtains through its Microsoft Entra ID groups. The assignments are loaded by synchronization.

You can assign Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts in One Identity Manager either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles.

You cannot edit assignments by Microsoft Entra ID groups in One Identity Manager.

The Microsoft Entra ID group that an assignment results from, is mapped in the Microsoft Entra ID source group column (AADUserHasSubSku.UID_AADGroupSource). If the column is empty, this assignment of the Microsoft Entra ID subscription to the Microsoft Entra ID user account is created either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. Assignments through Microsoft Entra ID groups are marked in the Origin column with the Assignment by group value (AADUserHasSubSku.XOrigin=16).

The table also contains a list of disabled service plans from its Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions for each Microsoft Entra ID user account (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).

AADUserHasDeniedService

This table contains disabled service plan assignments to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts. The entries are taken from the list of disabled service plans (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).

You can assign disabled service plans to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts in One Identity Manager either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles. By assigning a disabled service plan, you disable the use of this service plan in Microsoft Entra ID.

NOTE: A disabled service plan that is assigned to a user account can be permitted if the user accounts obtains the service plan additional through a group and the service plan for the group is allowed. The assignment by group is not mapped in this table.

AADUserHasServicePlan

This table contains the service plan assignments for Microsoft Entra ID user accounts that are in effect. The assignments are calculated in One Identity Manager from the entries in the AADUserHasSubSku, AADUserHasDeniedService, AADGroupHasSubSku, and AADGroupHasDeniedService tables.

AADGroupHasSubSku

This table contains Microsoft Entra ID subscription assignments to Microsoft Entra ID groups. This table also contains a list of disabled service plans from its Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions for each Microsoft Entra ID group (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).

The assignments are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot edit the assignments in One Identity Manager.

AADGroupHasDeniedService

This table contains disabled service plan assignments to Microsoft Entra ID groups. The entries are taken from the list of disabled service plans (AADGroupHasSubSku.DenyList). You cannot edit the assignments in One Identity Manager.

Displaying enabled and disabled Microsoft Entra ID service plans forMicrosoft Entra ID user accounts and Microsoft Entra ID groups

A Microsoft Entra ID user account can obtain Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions and Microsoft Entra ID service plans directly or through its Microsoft Entra ID groups.

NOTE: It is possible that a Microsoft Entra ID user obtains the same Microsoft Entra ID subscription directly as well as through one or more Microsoft Entra ID groups. If a service plan is permitted by one assignment method and not by another, the user is given the service plan.

This means:

A disabled service plan that is assigned to a user account can be permitted if the user accounts obtains the service plan additional through a group and the service plan for the group is allowed.

Assigning Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts

Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions can be assigned directly or indirectly to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts.

In the case of indirect assignment, identities and Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions assigned to an identity are calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If the identity has a user account in Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Entra ID role subscriptions are inherited by this Microsoft Entra ID user account.

Furthermore, Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions can be assigned to identities through IT Shop requests. Add identities to a shop as customers so that Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions are assigned to the identities after approval is granted.

TIP: You can combine the account definition for creating the Microsoft Entra ID user account and the Microsoft Entra ID subscription that will be used into one system role. In this way, the identity automatically obtains a user account and a Microsoft Entra ID subscription.

An identity can obtain this system role directly through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles, or an IT Shop request.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions directly to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts.

NOTE: A Microsoft Entra ID user account can also obtain Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions through its Microsoft Entra ID groups. You cannot edit assignments by Microsoft Entra ID groups in One Identity Manager.

The AADUserhasSubSku contains the assignments of Microsoft Entra ID subscription to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts with their origin. For more information, see Managing Microsoft Entra ID subscription and Microsoft Entra ID service plan assignments.
