Office 365 Client Credentials License Differentiation and License Reclamation

License Differentiation

SaaS Management offers a license differentiation feature that allows you to view users by license type. To view this license differentiation feature, navigate to the Activity tab of the Office 365 Client Credentials Application Details screen where you can filter and export the Office 365 Client Credentials license types.

The total spend for the Office 365 Client Credentials accounts displayed in the Office 365 Client Credentials Application Details screen is based on the license cost details entered in the License Details tab. For details, refer to Entering license details for license differentiation..

Application Task Tracking

License Differentiation has been added to Office 365 Client Credentials in the Application Task Tracking chart.

License Reclamation

License Reclamation is the process of taking back licenses from application users. These users fall into one of the following scenarios.

  • Employees who are inactive in your organization’s HR Roster
  • Application users who have never logged in to an application
  • Application users who are inactive

Reclaimed licenses help optimize SaaS spend and increase procurement efficiency because you avoid buying additional licenses for new license requests. You also limit security risks by reclaiming licenses from inactive employees in your HR Roster. To achieve these goals, SaaS Management provides an automated License Reclamation workflow. In addition, SaaS Management’s reclamation history tracks each step of the License Reclamation workflow and each License Reclamation status. For details, refer to Reclaiming Licenses.

The Office 365 Client Credentials integration instructions were updated to reference the following license reclamation information:

Office 365 Client Credentials License Reclamation

As part of the Reclamation task, only the license that is tracked under the Office 365 Client Credentials application is reclaimed or unassigned. The remaining licenses that are assigned to the user are unaffected. To reclaim an Office 365 Client Credentials license, see Reclaiming Office 365 User Licenses.

Minimum Permissions Required

User.ReadWrite.All permissions are required to modify the license assigned to the user.
