It sounds like you’re aiming to grow your Google Workspace for Education domain and want to see how certain features work when you have a mix of Education Fundamentals and Education Plus licenses. Let’s address two of your questions:

1. Groups active in a mixed license area Dynamic groups can automatically add a user based on specific criteria. Education Standard or Education Plus accreditation is required to create and manage active groups.

In a domain with Fundamentals and licenses, users with Fundamentals licenses can still be part of active groups if the criteria defined in the active group query are included a Basic requirement is that the admin who manages active groups has an Education Standard or Plus license.

2. Admin API and licensing functionality They are using the Admin API, specifically the AdminDirectory.Users. Insert and AdminDirectory.Users. Update methods. You can automatically manage user creation and updates, but licensing functions (like assigning Plus or Fundamentals) are handled by another API, the License Manager API.

So, while AdminDirectory.Users. Insert and AdminDirectory.Users. Update allows you to create and modify user attributes (e.g., name, email, organizational level), License Management is a License Manager API Isolation by Assignment This means that after you create and if you are updating a user, you can assign licenses using the licenseAssignments.insert or licenseAssignments.update methods of the License Manager API.
