Episode 4: Assigning Microsoft 365 Licences Using Group Based Licensing.
Welcome to Episode 4 of the Microsoft 365 User Onboarding Project**.
In this episode, we configure Group-Based Licensing by assigning Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Microsoft Entra ID P2 licences to a Security Group instead of assigning them directly to individual users.
You'll learn why group-based licensing is considered a Microsoft best practice and how it simplifies licence management in medium and large organisations. Since our users are already members of the Finance-Security group, you'll also see how licences are automatically inherited without manually assigning them to each user.
In this episode:
✅ Understand Group-Based Licensing
✅ Assign Microsoft 365 Business Premium to a Security Group

✅ Verify automatic licence inheritance for group members
