Best way to export a list of entra users that are within certain groups
Having to do an audit at work of about 2300 users to see how many have multiple 365 licenses(e3 and an f3) so we can then fix this. When I go into entra and find the licensing groups we have that assign the license, I am able to see the user list but there's no option to export. What is the best way to isolate these users who are doubled up and what's the best way moving forward to automate and ensure this cannot happen?
As some contextual info, we assign licenses based on groups(f3 assigned, e3 assigned etc). Is this also the best way to do this?
My current brainstorming has led me to a few potential solutions though I'm not familiar enough with what entra is capable of to know if they're viable.
Option one: write a script(I assume that entra would already have this as a built in feature, but if not, script it) that when a user is disabled in Entra, all groups and licenses are wiped UNLESS you add them to an exception group before hand.
Option 2: create a rule within the existing groups that says "if apart of e3 license group, cannot be apart of f3 license"
Continuing to brainstorm here but would like some outside opinions so that next year I don't have to manually go through 2300
