Managing user accounts in Office 365 is an essential task for administrators. Whether you’re setting up new employees or managing user roles, this guide will walk you through the process of adding a user license with ease.
To start, ensure you are logged into Office.com using an account with admin privileges. Without these rights, you won’t be able to create or manage users.
Once logged in, locate the Admin app from the available Office 365 applications or by selecting it from the app launcher (the grid icon in the upper left corner). This will take you to the Office 365 Admin Center.
In the left-hand navigation panel, go to Users and select Active Users. This will display a list of all active users within your Office 365 organization.
From the list of active users, click on the name of the user you want to assign a license to. This will open the user’s account details.
Once you’re in the user’s account details, scroll down or navigate to the Licenses and Apps section. Here, you’ll see a list of available licenses that can be assigned to the user.
Select the appropriate license based on the user’s requirements. Office 365 offers various plans such as Business Basic, Business Standard, and Enterprise plans, each providing different levels of access to Microsoft services like Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook.
After selecting the appropriate license, scroll down and click Save. This will apply the license to the user’s account, and they will now have access to the services covered under that license.
To verify that the license was assigned successfully, go back to the Active Users section and click on the user’s name again. You should see the assigned license listed under their account.
That’s it! You’ve successfully assigned a license to a user in Office 365, allowing them access to the apps and services they need to work efficiently.
