Group-based licensing in Microsoft Entra ID allows administrators to assign licenses to users automatically based on their group memberships. When a user is added to a group that has licenses assigned, they automatically receive those licenses, streamlining the license management process.
Assigning licenses manually in the Microsoft 365 admin center does not automate the process and can be time-consuming for large numbers of users.
Implementing license assignment policies in Microsoft Intune are used for device management, not for assigning Microsoft 365 licenses to users based on group membership.
Using PowerShell scripts to assign licenses individually requires manual intervention and scripting knowledge, making it less efficient than group-based licensing for this scenario.
