On the right side of the image, we see an Azure tenant with users, groups, subscriptions and license assignment information. We also see the SCIM App Service. On the left, we see our EmpowerID instance — whether it's on premise or a SaaS instance. EmpowerID is running as Web and Application Server containers hosting inventory jobs that pull the data from Azure and stores it in the appropriate tables of the Identity Warehouse. Users from Azure Active Directory are stored in the Accounts table, groups in the Group table, and the products to which the tenant has subscribed in the AZLocalServiceBundle table. Additionally, detailed information about which users or groups are assigned to which of these subscriptions, as well as which of product features of the service plans are enabled or disabled on each of these assignments is stored in the AZAssigneeLocalServiceBundleService table. While the image shows just a few of the tables, it allows you to see the overall flow of how EmpowerID could securely communicate to an Azure App service running in your tenant, using a managed identity to talk to the Graph API to retrieve this information and to store it in the identity warehouse.

The SCIM Microservice — The EmpowerID SCIM microservice is a SCIM-compliant REST API for inventorying the user, group, group membership and license information in your Azure tenant. The application calls the Microsoft Graph API to execute operations in Azure AD, such as updating group memberships, in response to your actions in ALM.
IT Shop Microservices — The IT Shop microservices provide users access to the IT Shop, where they can request licenses to any Microsoft service for which they are eligible and view current license subscriptions.
The below image shows what the IT Shop looks like to a user requesting a license for which they are eligible. There is one license available to them, “itshoptest05.”
The Azure License Analytics Microservice — The Azure License Analytics microservice provides a visual feedback of Azure data that can be used by your organization to quickly gather real-time synopsis of license usage, which can be helpful for making informed business decisions.
The below image shows one of the information panes of the Azure License Analytics microservice. This pane displays a timeline of the status of licensed Azure accounts for the past 12 months. Hovering your mouse over a specific point in the timeline displays data for that moment in time.
