M365 Changelog: Microsoft Dynamics 365 – Delete stub, unlicensed, and removed Microsoft Entra group users feature is now available – Aug 8, 2024

MC855402 – Starting August 8, 2024, the Delete stub, unlicensed, and removed Microsoft Entra group users feature will be generally available.

How does this affect me?
Previously, stub users, unlicensed, or removed Microsoft Entra group users couldn’t be deleted from a Dataverse environment. These types of users remained in a Dataverse environment with a disabled status and were unable to log into the environment.

You can now delete these users with the disabled status in your environment to comply with privacy laws, regulatory requirements, and to free up storage space.

What action do I need to take?
When you import users from another system, these users are created as stub users with a disabled status in Dataverse. These stub users will stay in the environment with a disabled status, or they can now be deleted. For more information, review Delete stub users from an environment.

If an active user loses their Power Platform license, or if a user is moved out of the environment’s Microsoft Entra group, they are set to a disabled status. You can delete these disabled status users in your environment. For more information, see Delete unlicensed or removed Microsoft Entra group users.
