Subscriber Staging (Microsoft Users)
---------------------------------------

When onboarding Microsoft users into VOSS Automate, unlicensed Microsoft 365 users are synced 
in to VOSS Automate from the Microsoft Teams cloud portal. 

It is possible to license Microsoft users from within VOSS Automate. You could use Quick Subscriber 
to apply a user's MS Teams configuration and to license the user in a single operation. Since 
there is a dependency on the Microsoft cloud to sync the changes once the user is licensed, VOSS 
Automate places the user in a staging queue while it waits for the Microsoft cloud process to complete. 

A scheduled staging sync and workflow executes every 30 minutes. This workflow removes the user from staging, 
re-runs the Quick Subscriber workflow, updates the Microsoft Teams user with 
their correct provisioning details, provisions the subscriber in VOSS Automate, and flags their 
number as used.

.. note:: 

   While the staging workflow runs every 30 minutes, if the Microsoft Teams cloud portal takes too long to create the 
   Microsoft Teams user and you don't want to wait for the scheduled workflow to execute, you can perform 
   an un-stage action on the Subscriber Staging page to immediately execute the workflow.
