Updates to user and group assignment views on the Microsoft Admin Center [MC1102762]

Message ID: MC1102762 (Updated)

Updated July 8, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

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 late July 2025 (previously mid-July).

[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.

  1. This update to the licensing view is a small but meaningful change—being able to clearly differentiate between direct and group-based license assignments can save a lot of time during audits or troubleshooting. It’s also good to hear there are performance improvements tied in; navigating the billing section hasn’t always been the smoothest experience.
