Assign plans based on user role and requirements
The most relevant concept is assigning plans based on user role and requirements because it directly addresses the need to provide different Microsoft 365 features to different departments without wasting licenses. This involves using group-based licensing or per-user license assignment to match features like Exchange Online, SharePoint, or Teams to specific job functions, ensuring cost efficiency and compliance with licensing terms.
