Technician-based remove users from group limit

The total number of times that technicians can remove users from a group, in a day using the RemoveUsersFromGroup API depends on the total number of licensed help desk technicians (HDTs).

If an API is used to create five AD users, and three of them are successfully created while two fail, it will be considered as three API calls. The maximum number of API calls that an HDT can make is 50/day, irrespective of the tasks that the HDT performs. If you have two HDT licenses, the total number of API calls that you can make is 100/day.

As the per day API call limit is not task-specific, you can perform any operation but the total number of API calls should not exceed 100. That is, an HDTcan perform a variety of operations like user creation, OU creation, password reset, etc., but the number of API calls for all the tasks put together should not exceed 100.
