The People admin role allows organizations to delegate people-related tasks more effectively and securely. By limiting access to necessary settings, it reduces risks associated with higher privilege roles and aligns with user jobs focused on people administration. The People admin role will enable organizations to: - Delegate tasks without giving excessive permissions to other admins. - Access new features and configurations in the People domain more easily. - Maintain security by avoiding the use of highly privileged roles for routine tasks. This role complements existing roles and enhances satisfaction with Microsoft administrative tools. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐: Admins are recommended to: 1. Review the People admin role documentation to understand its capabilities. 2. Assess current roles to identify where the new role fits. 3. Communicate changes to staff if needed, highlighting improved delegation and people-related access. 4. Review your current configuration to determine the impact on your organization. This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required before the rollout. The People admin role will be available by default.
