The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer-implemented methods for reconciling application assignments of different types to users and devices, and associating appropriate licenses for the applications to the users from purchase accounts managed by an external application store. An example method includes identifying a change in an assignment configuration for a user, the assignment configuration including a plurality of assignments of an application to the user; determining a winning assignment from the plurality of assignments; in response to determining the winning assignment, determining that the winning assignment requires a change to an external application store; and in response to determining that the winning assignment requires a change to the external application store, instructing the external application store to perform a configuration change corresponding to the winning assignment.

Application assignment reconciliation and license management

An administration server of an administration service assigns attributes to objects by a plug-in of the administration service. The plug-in implements a method of a functionality set and the method is callable by the administration service to perform the assigning. Additionally or alternatively, the administration server triggers a reconciliation event by changing the assignment of an attribute of the users that comprise objects of plug-ins; determines a scope of the users and which objects are affected by changing the assignment; and reconciles conflicting assignments. Additionally or alternatively, the administration server adds tasks by the plug-ins to a job created by the plug-ins with the tasks performing the assigning; and removes tasks from the job to optimize it.
