Introducing Dynamics 365 F&O License Automation

,
Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations License Automation

When the license enforcement was announced at the end of March 2025, I got heavily involved in several client projects, and I participated in weekly office hours to provide feedback to Microsoft for fixing bugs and improving the new license reporting. During several talks and interactions, it became clear that there is a need for automation on license assignments for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations licenses. I’m thrilled to announce that I created a solution via Power Automate, which I now share on this blog site.

Enhanced Entra ID group integration in D365FO Admin Toolkit

Entra ID Group integration

A few years ago, I wrote a blog post about how to use Azure Active Directory for managing users and security in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. In the meantime, Microsoft renamed Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID. In my blog, I provided how to manage users and provide access permissions by using security groups on Entra ID. Access permissions in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations are then inherited from a group user. Using this option has some downsides, mainly related to not having security roles directly assigned to the user. I contributed a new feature to the D365FO Admin Toolkit with an enhanced Entra ID group integration feature. You can read more about this new feature in this post.
