Office 365 Manage Licenses

This article provides the steps to configure your Self-Service Portal to work with your customer’s or partner’s Office 365 Manage Licenses

Pre-requisites

Performing this task will require the following:

  • Portal Owner privileges
  • Azure Admin privileges on the tenant

Time required

This configuration is expected to take approximately 15 minutes

Additional notes
