Now in the “Set user options” two radio buttons are there “Sign-in-allowed” and “Signed-in-blocked”. If we blocked the signed in then created user could not able to log in. Here I have chosen the Sign-in allowed option. Now enable the license which you want to give. Here I have enabled the office 365 enterprise E3 developer.
