How to assign Licenses to Users
To apply a license, open Dynamics 365 and switch to the HR HUB app if it is not already selected.
Go to Settings at the bottom left and then navigate to License Assignment in Licensing and click on New.
Now select the user and the license type you want to assign to the user. If you leave the Assign Roles Automatically option set to Yes, the specific security roles will be assigned to the user directly.
If you are unable to select the required user, please ensure that the user has been previously created in Dynamics 365.
Save & Close your changes.

Note that in order to publish on Xing job listings, you need to log in with a Xing Premium Account.
Disable Advanced Find
Depending on the configuration of your security concept, there may be a possibility that someone can use the Advanced Find to access records that they are not allowed or should not see for privacy reasons.
In order to prevent this in any case, we offer you a small free extension to deactivate the Advanced Find. In concrete terms, this means that although anyone can open the Advanced Find, the button for the results is not visible to everyone and therefore cannot be used.
The search can then only be used by people who are allowed to create new employees through their user role.
Attention: If you use additional modules in Dynamics 365 (such as Sales or Marketing), it is possible that authorized persons may no longer be able to use the Advanced Search, since the Sales Director security role, for example, does not automatically allow authorization to create new employees.
You can download the solution from the customer portal on our website: Addon: Deactivate Advanced Find
For more information about downloading addons, please see the top of this page: Download addons
