Motivation

I noticed users levels of access to certain microsoft features getting added and removed. It takes time to figure out the root cause is the change in the license assignment or access grant/deny of features within the license level. Here are my notes while analyzing a challenge.

Key Points

Microsoft administrator assigns user licenses.
Licenses by default come with set of service plans/features (ex: Microsoft Teams).
Microsoft administrator can limit the features selectively.
User can be assigned with multiple licenses.
Combined
Every user can see their subscription at https://portal.office.com/account/?ref=MeControl
Licenses can be assigned to any security group in Azure AD
