Hi,

I am a bit confused on how we are getting billed for licenses.

The picture on the left is straight from D365 under System Administration / Manager Users / Assign Roles.

The picture on the right is the quote from our vendor.

Are they one for one match?

I have the same question (2)

Hi,

The Finance left should be covered with the Finance SKU on the quote. In addition, the Operations at the left part tells you that you need a full license, such as Finance or SCM. In case Operations is presented, then roles are built up using custom privileges or privileges not listed in a table with a tag for a specific license. As I don't know the contents of these roles, I can't tell which exact license comes most close.

Activity at the left side, should be mapped with "operations activity" at the right side.

Team members is indeed the Team members.

Can I ask what triggers an Operation License or maybe where I can look? We created a role with no privledges and it assigned the role an activity license. We understand that part. We have a bunch of roles with Operations License and just doing some of our own internal evaluation.

Hi,

When you assign duties to a role, these duties have privileges with the menu item permissions. For more clarity on the relation between a role and a required license, you can read a blog from Alex Meyer: Current State of D365FO User Licensing - Alex Meyer (alexdmeyer.com)

This blog explains the difference between privilege-based licensing versus menu item-based licensing. It also explains when a role will be typed as Operations.
