Auto-Activate Users and OUs

Configure Auto-Activation for New OU

The Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace Backup feature allows automatic activation for new users and Organizational Units (OUs) added to the domains included in your backup project. When new users or OUs are added, 15-day trial licenses for Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace Backup are automatically assigned to enable these users.

License Management:

• Once the trial licenses expire, paid licenses (if available) will automatically be assigned to these users.
• If no paid licenses are available, you will receive a notification. Users who cannot receive paid licenses will be disabled until additional licenses are purchased.

By default, auto-activation for users in added OUs is disabled. You will need to enable this feature if you wish to activate new users automatically.

Auto-Activation for New OU

1. Open Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace Backup Dashboard.
2. On Users click the New OU Auto-Activation button.

3. Select one of the suggested auto-activation modes:
   • All Users. Auto-activate all users in the selected OU(s).
   • New Users Only. Auto-activate only new users in domain added to selected OU(s). Existing users will not be affected.
   • Disabled. Auto-activation for the new OUs will be disabled.

4. Save your selection.

Auto-Activate Users in Existing OUs

Activated user will appear in the grid on the Users and a trial license for 15 days will be automatically assigned to the user. After the trial license expires, an available Backup license will be assigned to the user. If there are no available Backup licenses, the user remains in the list but is excluded from the backup project.

By default, the auto-activation for new users is disabled. You can enable by configuring the autoactivation as follows:
