Overview
Dynamic groups + GBL automate licensing but hide drift when rules wrong.
Audit quarterly
- Compare assigned licenses vs group membership export.
- Find disabled users still receiving licenses via nested group surprises.
Fix
Refine dynamic rule OR split into license-specific groups.
Reporting
Cost savings opportunities in QBR (E5 features on interns, etc.).
Guardrails
Separate license admin from user admin roles via PIM.
