    Adding or Editing a Subscription Plan

    Note

    Editing a plan that has already been assigned to users can change what the users can do. For example, if you change a plan by changing the cloud drive license from Full to None, all users with the plan will not be able to access their cloud drive. The cloud drive content is not deleted from the portal, so the team administrator can assign these users with a plan that includes the Full cloud drive license and this will re-enable the users to access their files.

    To add or edit a subscription plan:

    1. In the global administration view, select Provisioning > Plans in the navigation pane.
      The PLANS page is displayed.
