We’re thrilled to announce the addition of a new RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) role in Microsoft Teams Admin Center: the Teams Telephony Admin. This role has been specifically designed to manage telephony-related functions within the Teams Admin Center.

When this will happen:

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out late February 2024 and expect to complete by early March 2024.

The Teams Telephony Admin role allows standalone management of telephony areas within Teams Admin Center. With this new role, administrators gain specific capabilities related to telephony management. Here’s what it entails:

     1. User Management: View user lists and manage voice settings and voice-related policies for individual users.
