Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/KelvinTegelaar/CIPP/issues/3679

Please confirm:

  • I have searched existing feature requests (open and closed) and found no duplicates.
  • **me or my organization is currently an active sponsor of the product at the $99,- level.

Problem Statement

We have 10s of clients who require the list of 365 licensed users each month and other who ask for it every quarter. While CIPP has made it easier to get that list, it's still manual and require manual clean-up
All we need is a cleaned up XLSX file with:
Enabled, Display Name, username, Last login and licenses assigned (Excluding free licenses)

Benefits for MSPs

Yes, described in Problem statement already

Value or Importance

Nice to have for functionality but critical for time saving

PowerShell Commands (Optional)

No response

You can use the Graph Explorer for this, or the task scheduler, we however will never email clients directly.

Hi Kelvin,

Thank you for your response. I understand that feature requests are being rejected quickly without exploring possible options, which can be discouraging for those of us trying to contribute critical ideas.

I reviewed the task scheduler but couldn't determine which command would achieve the desired result. It's understandable if the MSP needs to initiate the schedule rather than CIPP, but not providing any option at all, with the explanation that "CIPP never emails clients directly," seems limiting. There are always multiple ways to achieve a goal. For instance, we could receive the email and create a Power Automate rule to forward it to the client.

Additionally, I noticed there's no option to reopen a feature request when adding comments. This leaves me with the choice of either creating a new feature request or abandoning this important feature that could benefit the community. Unfortunately, it seems that all feature requests I've submitted have been closed abruptly, similar to this one.

There might be alternative methods, such as using Graph Explorer or Task Scheduler, as you suggested. However, without documentation on how to achieve this, we're left in the same position as before the feature request was made.
