MicrosoftDoes the System Administrator security Role require a license in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations
＜Q1＞
Page 51 of the License Guide contains the following statement
==
Admin rights apply across Commerce, Finance, and Supply Chain Management.
For example, if you have a Finance license, you have admin rights not only for For example, if you have a Finance license, you have admin rights not only for Finance but also Supply Chain Management and Commerce.
==
I wonder if the administrator here is referring to the System Administrator security Role.
In other words, would the System Administrator Role be assigned to the account without a Commerce, Finance, or SCM license?
<Q2>
On page 3 of the Licensing Guide, there is the following statement.
==
Admins do not need any license to configure and administer Dynamics 365 applications
==
Does this "Admins" indicate Power Platform admins?
The documentation includes a list of customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation) , Can D365FO use the system administrator security role without a license?
Thank you.
Hi Motoki2190
As stated on pg.3 of the D365 LG, Admins do not need any license to configure and administer Dynamics 365 applications; global admins and power platform admins can administer without a license.
Microsoft Power Platform admins who do not have a license are granted the following two levels of permission in customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation).
- System administrator security role
- Administrative access mode

Motoki2190Thank you for your checking.
I undestand from the document that global admins and power platform admins can administer without a license on only customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation).Is it correct that Global Admin and Power Platform Admin are not related to FnO's roles？
About <Q1>,
can the System Administrator Role on FnO be assigned to the account without a Commerce, Finance, or SCM license?
Also, if I have a Commerce, Finance, or SCM Base license, can I use Project Operations? Or do I need a Project Operations license?
Thank you.
