- Users can only be assigned to one policy.
- You can transfer a user between policies. This is done by adding the user to a new policy (they will be removed and allocated in the background).
- Local Administrators can only manage user policies for the users to whom they have the relevant permissions in place.
- If an organisation is already enabled on Office 365, with a licence assigned to an existing user policy, adding new users to this policy automatically assigns the same applied licence settings to users.
- If your user policy contains settings for Office 365, you will only be able to add members to it if there are enough licences to assign to them. For example, if there are 20 licences you will only be able to add 20 users.
- User policy names are automatically prefixed with the Organisational Data Service (ODS) code of the organisation the user policy belongs to.
- Members can be added/removed by O365 Licence Admin.
