Copilot license through catalog item

[TomohiroT]

Hi all,

I am looking to find a way to assign users a copilot license through catalog item. 

The way I could think of was using MS Graph API of which API involves LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All. 

Though I want to try it myself, I haven't got my account permission.

Do any of you have any idea how I can realise this?

Hi,

I'd check with your Azure team. A best practice is to assign a license to a group, and then add users to the group. You'd then use the Add member REST API to add a user

Hi Kieran,

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciated it. 

So do you think making a catalog item that involves assigning license to a user is possible? 

I was thinking of using LicenseAssignment.ReadWrite.All.

Possible yes, but based on Microsoft best practice, it should be done using groups not assigning licenses directly

Thank you Kieran.

I'll try and let's see what happens!
