    Manages a single license assignment for a group (group-based licensing).

    License availability The SKU being assigned must be available in your tenant. You can find the available SKUs and their service plans in the Microsoft 365 admin center, or by inspecting the subscribedSkus in Microsoft Graph.

    Group-based licensing Licenses assigned to a group are inherited by all members of that group. Assignment to individual members happens asynchronously after the license is assigned to the group, and is managed by Microsoft Entra ID rather than by this resource. This resource only manages the license assignment on the group object itself.

    API Permissions

    The following API permissions are required in order to use this resource.

    When authenticated with a service principal, this resource requires one of the following application roles: LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All or Directory.ReadWrite.All

    When authenticated with a user principal, this resource may require one of the following directory roles: License Administrator, Groups Administrator, User Administrator or Global Administrator

    Tip For assigning more licenses to a group, create additional instances of this resource.

    Create GroupLicense Resource

    Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

    Constructor syntax

    new GroupLicense(name: string, args: GroupLicenseArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
    @overload
    def GroupLicense(resource_name: str,

    Import

    Group Licenses can be imported using the object ID of the group and the SKU ID of the license, in the following format.

    $ pulumi import azuread:index/groupLicense:GroupLicense example 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/license/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
    

    This ID format is unique to Terraform and is composed of the Azure AD Group Object ID and the license SKU ID in the format {GroupObjectID}/license/{SkuID}.
