Microsoft Purview | Audit: Simplified permissions

As previously communicated in MC679529 (October 2023), we simplified permissions for Microsoft Purview Audit. This message is a clarification. 

We have simplified the controls to manage Audit permissions in Microsoft Purview. You can now manage permissions from the Microsoft Purview Compliance portal. To search or export the audit log, administrators or members of investigation teams must be assigned to at least one of the View-Only Audit Logs or Audit Logs roles. These roles can be assigned through the Microsoft Purview Compliance portal. By default, these roles are assigned to the Audit Reader and Audit Manager role groups on the Permissions page in the Compliance portal.
