Performing an Avaya Spaces user audit

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

In some cases, the Avaya Aura® Device Services and Avaya Spaces databases might contain different information about a user. For example, if you cancel a license assignment operation, Avaya Aura® Device Services and Avaya Spaces might contain different information about the user license. To identify and resolve these differences, you can use the audit operation.

The audit verifies the following:

  • Whether the user exists on both Avaya Aura® Device Services and Avaya Spaces.

  • Whether the user has the same license type on both Avaya Aura® Device Services and Avaya Spaces.

The audit does not verify other user attributes, such as the first name, last name, or email address.

To fix inconsistencies between databases, the audit process uses information from the Avaya Aura® Device Services database, unless the user exists on Avaya Spaces only. In this case, you can choose which database record to use. The audit process does not remove users from Avaya Aura® Device Services.

Important:

For users originally created on Avaya Spaces (non-LDAP users), you cannot fix inconsistencies between databases by adding or removing these users from Avaya Spaces. For example, if the audit identified that a non-LDAP user exists in the Avaya Aura® Device Services but does not exist in the Avaya Spaces database, then you can only delete the user from Avaya Aura® Device Services.

You cannot perform the audit at the same time as another user management operation, such as adding or deleting a user or updating licenses. During the audit, you cannot perform user management operations on the Assign License and View and Manage pages.

Procedure

  1. On the Avaya Aura® Device Services web administration portal, navigate to Spaces > Users and License > View and Manage.
  2. Click Audit Scan.

    Avaya Aura® Device Services displays the list of users whose Avaya Aura® Device Services and Avaya Spaces database records do not match. For more information about audit scan results, see Audit status.

  3. From Action for Users not in AADS, select one of the following options to process users that exist on Avaya Spaces only:
    • ADD on AADS: To create these users on Avaya Aura® Device Services.

    • DELETE from SPACES: To remove these users from Avaya Spaces.

    Avaya Aura® Device Services displays actions that Avaya Aura® Device Services will perform to fix inconsistencies between Avaya Aura® Device Services and Avaya Spaces databases in the Post Submit Action column.

  4. Click Submit.

    Avaya Aura® Device Services starts processing all records found during the scan process.
