Remove requirement of UP licence for administration
Unlike nearly the whole of Azure for some inexplicable reason to just administrate Universal Printing the account must have a licence for UP. Please remove this requirement but by all means prevent the account from using the service normally - why is a licence needed?
We have a corporate policy that all Azure admin accounts are separate to any user account i.e. as Global Admin I have my day to day account and my separate Azure admin account for performing administration in Azure/M365. We do not allow these accounts to have any licences as they should not be used for any other purpose, not even an Exchange licence.

This is important, as requiring a license for administration results in less secure environments. If the license for use is required for administration, companies are then encouraged to give the administrator role to the regular use accounts of IT personnel in order to save costs. Giving administrator roles to regular use accounts, rather than administrator accounts, is well known to be a Bad Idea

Hi Jimmy_Wu. Per other comments, it's been over a year since the last update. Can you please advise if this is on the roadmap yet? Thanks.

Administrators do not consume the service - they administer/manage it. Consuming a costly license just to manage a feature/service seems ludicrous to me and needs to be changed a.s.a.p.
