Delegate365 changelog version 2. December 2013/January 2014 Order license: Added filter so only license types of your OU´s are visbile. Fixed.

In Delegate365 the administrator can assign users to security groups and change the Office 365 licenses but cannot modify the user object itself because it´s managed in a local federated Active Directory. Windows Azure Active Directory handles federated objects differently, so these objects are no “full” objects which can be read but not changed. ...
