Microsoft subscriber staging#
Overview#
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.

Scheduled staging sync#
A scheduled staging sync and workflow can be enabled. This workflow removes the user from staging (unstage), 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.
The staging schedule sync is disabled by default on install. When enabled, the default is for the staging schedule to run every 4 hours.
You can enable the staging schedule sync (ScheduleMSTeamsOnlineTargetUserSync) in Automate via
the Sync Scheduling page (select Active), where you can also change the execution schedule
(default is every 4 hours). See Add or edit a schedule.
Unstage MS users#
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 (if its enabled), you can perform an unstage action on one or more selected users on the Subscriber Staging page to immediately execute the workflow for the selected users.
To unstage one or more MS users
In the Admin Portal, use the Action search to go to the Microsoft Subscribers in Staging page.
Select one or more users to remove from staging.
Click Unstage immediate.
