Overview of data handled by License Management

Each relational database module defines roles for services and grants granular access rights to a single database schema. Those object-level permissions include select grant for views and table valued functions and execute for stored procedures.

The data synchronization process ingests Microsoft Entra ID data into staging tables using Bulk Copy and is discarded immediately. Data is not persistent or cached in transit.

For all users, On Demand License Management requests and stores the following data:

•

For groups, the following data is also requested and stored:

The User Display Name is used for searching. Email is displayed in user details. Department, Province, and Country are used for filtering, sorting, and data grouping for analytical purposes.
