Hi all,

we have assigned some users to the Entra ID group "Dynamics 365 Business Central Device Users".

Now these users get a device user license once they sign in.

I was wondering where I can see who and how many users have such a licence assigned currently and was hoping to see this in the license dashbord in the Admin center but it seems to be empty:

Any idea?

I would like to check more in detail when device user licenses are assigned, when they are released again and what happens in case of overbooking, etc.

Thanks!

Hi,

It will show all users list in Screenshot you shared. but you don't have admin role to see it.

You need "License Administrator" or "Cloud Application Administrator" role to see users.

Hi, Device licenses are associated with a Security Group. You can directly view the members of the Group that is granted this license.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Unfortunately we dont have "License Administrator" or "Cloud Application Administrator"

You can check which users have a **Device User License** assigned in **Business Central Admin Center** under the **Users** section. If the license dashboard appears empty, it might be due to synchronization delays or permissions settings. You may also verify user assignments in **Microsoft Entra ID** by reviewing the **Dynamics 365 Business Central Device Users** group. Maybe this will give you a hint to resolve your issue.
