Licensing
ECALs (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/learn-more/brief-cal-suites.aspx) are licsense part of https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/licensing-programs/enterprise.aspxand ATA is included on those as well.
EMS+ is all about identity Security and NOT pc/computer centric. One licens pr user.

What is the appropriate way to use and license ATA in this scenario?
Is that not an area where Advanced Threat Analytics doesn't quite fit though?
There is no way to exclude a user from monitoring, ATA is either 'on' or not.
Re-phrasing the question would be more - Does ATA under EM+S licensing license the organisation for ATA, or users. The product architecture doesn't provide any mechanism or methodology to restrict its operation based license availability, so unless the product is to be hobbled later to add that restriction, then surely any EM+S license activates a license for ATA for the whole organisation?
Some difinitive response from Microsoft would be good on this.
