Creating a Licensed Users View in Office 365

In Office 365, when managing users and groups under the Office 365 Admin Center, they have several canned views you can use to filter the list of employees and groups that you see.

One which is not there by default, which is a custom view, is Licensed Users. You can easily create views or edit existing views by using the menu items at the bottom. In this case, we are going to create a New view

First, just like any other view in SharePoint, you need to give the view a name. In this case, I used Licensed Users

I’ve left every other option blank except for Assigned license. I’ve changed this field to reflect my client’s license plan, which is the E3 license.

Click Save, and you’re good to go.

If you have multiple licenses in use, you will need to create multiple views, as it is a single selection drop-down.
