User’s policies details page enhancements

The user’s policy details page in Microsoft Teams admin center provides admins with the ability to manage policies for individual users. However, the current experience falls short in meeting critical needs, such as presenting a comprehensive view of all policies assigned to a user and a policy assignment view to understand how a policy is applied to the user. 

To address these concerns, the new user details policy page offers an enhanced experience that enables admins to view all effective policies for a user, along with a clear policy assignment hierarchy view. With this new functionality, admins can easily troubleshoot any problematic policy assignments, ensuring that policies are correctly assigned, and their users’ experiences are optimal.

Retiring Remote PowerShell use through Connect-IPPPSession

In line with our vision to enhance the security of our cloud, we plan to move the SCC admin experience to REST-based APIs. In doing so, we will be deprecating the legacy Remote PowerShell (RPS) protocol starting July 15, 2023.

In releasing the REST interface, customers do not need to use RPS to access EOP. Instead, RPS-based cmdlets will run as REST API calls instead of running via an RPS session. The REST API has the same cmdlets available and feature parity with RPS v1 cmdlets, so existing scripts and processes don’t need to be updated. Simply using the new module will ensure REST is used rather than RPS.
