Hello,

Does anyone knows what are the External Administrator and Application License Types in BC17?

Following the documentation below I couldn't find any mention to user License Types. Can these types be related to the functionality "Update Users from Microsoft 365"?

Thanks in advance

    The "External Administrator" is used for a Partner Support technician to be able to access your environment.

    The "Application" is used for third-party integration access, such as API calls.
