Terms in this definition
- Role
How an actor normally or expectedly behaves, or the part a person takes in a process. A single actor may hold more than one role.
- Group-based licensing
Licence assignment made to the direct members of a security-enabled group, requiring Entra ID P1 or P2. Members of nested groups are not included, and a licence a user inherits cannot be removed from that user directly.
