Displaying enabled and disabled Azure Active Directory service plans forAzure Active Directory user accounts and Azure Active Directory groups

An Azure Active Directory user account can obtain Azure Active Directory subscriptions and Azure Active Directory service plans directly or through its Azure Active Directory groups.

NOTE: It is possible that an Azure Active Directory user obtains the same Azure Active Directory subscription directly as well as through one or more Azure Active Directory 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.

For more information, see Managing Azure Active Directory subscription and Azure Active Directory service plan assignments.

To display information about Azure Active Directory subscriptions and service plans for a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Azure Active Directory user account overview task.

    The following information about Azure Active Directory subscriptions and service plans for a user account is displayed on the overview form.

    • Disabled Azure Active Directory service plans from owned subscriptions: Disabled Azure Active Directory service plans assigned to this user account either directly, through the IT Shop or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles.

Assigning Azure Active Directory subscriptions to Azure Active Directory user accounts

Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned directly or indirectly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.

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

Furthermore, Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests. Add employees to a shop as customers so that Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All Azure Active Directory subscriptions assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested Azure Active Directory subscriptions are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

TIP: You can combine the account definition for creating the Azure Active Directory user account and the Azure Active Directory subscription that will be used into one system role. In this way, the employee automatically obtains a user account and an Azure Active Directory subscription.

An employee 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 Azure Active Directory subscriptions directly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.

NOTE: An Azure Active Directory user account can also obtain Azure Active Directory subscriptions through its Azure Active Directory groups. You cannot edit assignments by Azure Active Directory groups in One Identity Manager.

The AADUserhasSubSku contains the assignments of Azure Active Directory subscription to Azure Active Directory user accounts with their origin. For more information, see Managing Azure Active Directory subscription and Azure Active Directory service plan assignments.
