Prerequisites for indirect assignment of Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions 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. When assigning Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions indirectly, check the following settings and modify them if necessary:

  1. Assignment of identities and Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).

    For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

    ClosedAllow assignments to role classes of departments, cost centers, locations, or roles

  2. Settings for assigning Microsoft Entra ID subscriptions to Microsoft Entra ID user accounts.

    • The Microsoft Entra ID user account is linked to an identity.

    • The Microsoft Entra ID user account has a location.

    • The Microsoft Entra ID user account has the Subscriptions can be inherited option set.

NOTE: There are other configuration settings that play a role when company resources are inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. For example, role inheritance might be blocked or inheritance of identities not allowed. For more information about the basic principles for assigning company resources, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
