Azure License Manager Jobs

Job

Purpose of Job

Inventory Job

  • Inventories all users, groups and group memberships

  • Azure specific data for RBAC and licensing is stored in the AzureJSONInbox table of the Identity Warehouse for processing later

Resource System Inbox Inventory Processor

This job claims and processes all the data contained in the AzureJSONInbox table in EmpowerID. This table is populated during inventory and stores inventoried information for all Azure-specific information such as license subscriptions, RBAC entities such as management groups, and information about license assignments. The job has two steps:

  1. The first step performed by the Inventory Inbox job is to process the JSON documents received during inventory and insert them into a series of tables in the Identity Warehouse, prefixed with Azure. Examples of these tables include Azure_Subscription, Azure_AccountLicense, Azure_GroupLicense and Azure_ManagedIdentity.

  2. The second step performed by the Inventory Inbox job is to move the data from the Azure tables to their corresponding EmpowerID tables. These tables, such as the Account and Group tables, are visible in the user interface to provide reporting, delegated administration and self-service.

License Pool Compiler

This job processes each enabled license pool based on the schedule set for that license pool. It evaluates the assignments and the exclusions and compiles the resultant assignments of who should have that license bundle. This then results in creating entries in the license fulfillment queue,  also known as the license inbox, to add or remove user accounts from Azure AD license groups that are mapped to each license bundle. It calculates the result of who should have that license bundle versus who is currently in that license group because of the license bundle and puts entries in the license fulfillment queue for who should be added to and who should be removed from a particular license bundle.

License Pool Approval Change Inbox Processor Job

This job reads the entries placed in the license fulfillment queue by the License Pool Compiler and connects to the SCIM microservice to process those entries in your tenants, adding or removing users to and from license groups.

License Reclamation Compiler

This job rrocesses license reclamation and creates inbox entries for licenses that are not in use or assigned to an invalid account.

License Reclamation Inbox Processor

This job processes License Reclamation Inbox entries and either executes them or generates workflows for approval.
