Can AD groups be used to manage licenses for application with manual license provisioning

Question

Can AD groups be used to assign/control/manage/monitor/release licenses for different independent applications that are with manual license provisioning?

Currently, we login into the application portal and then perform above activities, is it possible to do the same through AD groups.

Hello Yoga,

Thanks for your question.

No, AD groups cannot directly be used to manage licenses for applications with manual license provisioning.

While AD groups can't manage manual license provisioning, you can can create groups and allow the app licenses to members of that group. You can also use dynamic groups to set license assignments based on specific criteria of group membership
