Office 365 license reclamation
Note:This enhancement is available with SaaS Management.
License Reclamation is the process of taking back licenses from application users. These users fall into one of the following scenarios.
| • | Employees who are inactive in your organization’s HR Roster |
| • | Application users who have never logged in to an application |
| • | Application users who are inactive |
Reclaimed licenses help optimize SaaS spend and increase procurement efficiency because you avoid buying additional licenses for new license requests. You also limit security risks by reclaiming licenses from inactive employees in your HR Roster. To achieve these goals, [ProductName] provides an automated License Reclamation workflow. In addition, [ProductName]’s reclamation history tracks each step of the License Reclamation workflow and each License Reclamation status. For details, refer to Reclaiming Licenses.
The Office 365 integration instructions were updated to reference the following license reclamation information:
| • | Office 365 License Reclamation |
| • | Minimum Permissions Required |
| • | Reclamation API endpoint |
| • | Application Task Tracking |
Office 365 License Reclamation
As part of the Reclamation task, only the license that is tracked under the Office 365 application is reclaimed or unassigned. The remaining licenses that are assigned to the user are unaffected. To reclaim an Office 365 license, see Reclaiming Office 365 User Licenses.
User.ReadWrite.All permissions are required to modify the license assigned to the user.
