Microsoft is releasing an API that helps Global Administrators change how user, group, and site names are displayed in the Microsoft 365 admin center based on their organization’s privacy practices without having to manually change the setting in Org Settings -> Reports. User, group and site names are concealed by default. When this setting is changed, administrative roles and the report reader role will be able to see identifiable user level information. Global reader and Usage Summary Reports Reader roles will not have access to identifiable user information, regardless of the setting chosen. Showing identifiable user information is a logged event in the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center Audit log.

In this case, the in-app trial will be available either through Home in Project or in Planner – see the image below as an example. For future reference, in-app trials will become available in other Microsoft 365 apps, which you will receive notifications as these begin to rollout.
