We’re updating the product licensing experience in the Microsoft Admin Center to make it easier for admins to distinguish between direct and group-based license assignments. This update improves clarity and performance on the product licensing pages (Billing > Licenses), helping you quickly understand how licenses are assigned and to whom.
[When this will happen:]
Rollout will begin in late June 2025 and is expected to complete by mid-July 2025.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Admins will see a new layout on the product licensing pages:
- Users with directly assigned licenses will appear in the User tab.
- Users assigned via Group-Based Licensing (GBL) will appear in the Groups tab.
To view users assigned via GBL, select the group name from the list of group assignments for that product, then navigate to the Successfully assigned tab.

This change is designed to improve page load performance and make license assignment paths more intuitive.
[What you can do to prepare:]
Review and update any internal documentation, training materials, or processes that assume all license assignments appear in the User tab. After this update, license assignments will be split between the User and Groups tabs based on how the license was assigned.

The clearer distinction between direct and group-based license assignments is a small but meaningful update. Admins often spend unnecessary time sorting that out manually, so this change should really streamline day-to-day license management.
