Licensing - Limit Defender for Identity to certain users
Correct, excluding your unlicensed users from MDI will help avoid potential service disruption to your organization as Some tenant services are not currently capable of limiting benefits to specific users. I recommend you to exclude the unlicensed users from the detection rules to make sure that this will not affect you in the future, open a case with the licensing team to make sure that you're covering the scenario as it should be.
Hi elieelkarkafi,
Thanks for your response.
The customers have bought X amount of individual Defender for Identity licenses to cover X amount of users in their organization.
I just want to make sure that we do the correct efforts from a Microsoft perspective to "limit the service benefits" for the rest of the unlicensed users. If that makes any sense?
Best regards,
Robin

- elieelkarkafi, thanks a lot for your time and effort to help me out answering my question.
I will ping the licensing team just to make sure that we do an effort that is good enough from their perspective. I'll put the response in this thread for you guys to read, hopefully it can help someone else in the future 🙂
Cheers!
