Merging two domains in azure AD

Question

Hi，If the subsidiary's Azure domain is merged into the parent company's Azure domain, will the ownership and management permissions of the license under the subsidiary's account also be merged?

If so, what is the permission and management status of the subsidiary's account？

Thanks

Hello,

When merging a subsidiary's Azure domain into the parent company's Azure domain, the ownership and management permissions of the license under the subsidiary's account will depend on how the merger is done.

If the merger involves transferring ownership of the subsidiary's Azure resources to the parent company's Azure account, the licenses associated with those resources will also be transferred to the parent company's account. In this case, the parent company will have full ownership and management permissions over the licenses.

If, on the other hand, the merger involves integrating the subsidiary's Azure domain into the parent company's Azure domain, the subsidiary's account and associated licenses will still exist, but the parent company will have the ability to manage them through its Azure Active Directory. The parent company can grant and revoke permissions to the subsidiary's account as needed.

In either case, it's important to work closely with your IT and legal teams to ensure that the merger is done in a way that meets all necessary regulatory and compliance requirements.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
