Question

Your organization uses group-based licensing in Microsoft Entra ID. A user named Jordan is a member of two groups: the 'Sales' group, which is assigned an Office 365 E3 license with the 'Exchange Online' service plan enabled, and the 'Contractors' group, which is assigned an Office 365 E3 license with 'Exchange Online' disabled. Jordan is also directly assigned an Office 365 E3 license with all service plans enabled. Which statement correctly describes the resulting license state for Jordan?

Accepted Answer

Jordan consumes one Office 365 E3 license, and because a direct assignment plus group assignments overlap, the enabled service plans are combined so Exchange Online remains enabled.

Answer

Jordan consumes three separate Office 365 E3 licenses, one from each source.

Answer

Jordan's license assignment fails entirely because the conflicting Exchange Online settings between the two groups cannot be resolved.

Answer

Jordan consumes one Office 365 E3 license and Exchange Online is disabled because the most restrictive group setting always takes precedence.
