Containers & Groups

The user containers are scanned by AvePoint Online Services Auto Discovery and contain the Microsoft 365 users of your organization. On the Containers & groups page, you can select how to manage and view license information in AvePoint Cense.

If Container is selected, users can view license reports, manage licenses with the User container filter, and manage the license budget for each user container.
