What License Do SysAdmins Need in D365FO?
Licensing in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (D365FO) can be complex, especially for system administrators. The Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide states that sysadmins do not require a license, but later contradicts itself. To get a clearer picture, D365FO itself reports that assigning the "System Administrator" role requires an "Operations" level license. This suggests that a user assigned the sysadmin role needs a base license SKU (Finance, Supply Chain Management, or Commerce). While there may be an argument that sysadmins don't need a license based on the Microsoft guide, it's not worth the risk. It's important to address this within your organization and ensure the appropriate licenses are applied.
