Adding a user or sending download link
Hi, Simple question. Got Office 365 under a charity license. I want to let a user download the office product to their PC but not have access to any of the files/cloud etc. I have 4 more slot...
- I think I'm starting to understand. It's taken awhile :)
So I need to add a user in order for them to then be able to download the software using the 'send download link' onto their computer and then sign in with the assigned login details.
So that brings me to my other point. When I go to add a new user, what do I put in the email field? I'm not able to put that user's personal email account because it won't let me. The @ domain is a drop down menu with just the @charity.com domain. Do I just make up anything?
Scott, I believe as a charity you are assigned an E3 licence. As Cian Allner points out the licence is indivisible so provisioning a user provides the Office 365 service. If you co-workers needed Outlook they will need access to Exchange for example. They will not get automatic access to your documents unless you have permissioned this. If you are using this simply to provision Word, Excel, PowerPoint as products this is not going to work imo.
Thanks John,
Still confused. So you're saying I need to "add user"? but it also gives me the option to send download links to install too. If I go to 'add user', in the email field I can choose any name, but the domain field is charity.com and can't be changed.
When the initial users were added, we had 3 different email addresses connected to the charity, so no problem. We don't have any more addresses, so what do we put in the email field now?
