We manage our users and groups in a central ldap-directory.
When importing users, the portal checks if there are enough free licences to do the import.

The steps are
-> "Add members based on existing enterprise users"
-> "from a group"
-> then number of free licences is checked
-> if fewer users in group than number of free licences then the import takes place
-> if more users than licences then the import is aborted

This makes sense when initially importing the users but is problematic when individual users join the ldap-group later on and we have to import the group again.
There is currently no differential import.

One of the following would be very helpful:
- a differential import (count only the users that have not already been imported and check THEIR number against available licences)
- only issue a warning if more users in group than licences available and import as many users as possible (the ones that already exist in portal are rejected anyways)
