What is the difference between assigning Application Rights and License assignment? I cant seem to work out the difference. Why would you use Application Rights if you have Licenses for the application assigned to the user?

I cant seem to work out the difference. Why would you use Application Rights if you have Licenses for the application assigned to the user?

 

Can anyone give me examples of when you would use one over the other? Would you use both at the same time for anything?

 

Many thanks

    Hi Jason,

     

    The difference between application rights and license assignment is the following.

     

    Application rights does not use affect your license compliance. it is a way for you to report on users who can /should not access applications. It is a function in Snow that is not used very often. where as license assignment is just that. it is used for compliance calculations. If it is license related always use license assignments if it is policy related use application rights.

     

    Kind regards,
