Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Audit – Granular scoping with role-based access control (RBAC)

IT departments in large organizations are built in a way that some of the day-to-day tasks are delegated to specific people or roles in the organization following the industry standard of least privilege access.

Admins have a need to delegate role based permissions to users or analysts in a granular way. In some cases, this delegation is based on function, and in other cases it is based on geography or scope of work. In this release, Audit will provide role based information with Audit search results through the UI.

Microsoft Teams: Proactive Monitoring of Meeting Quality Using Real-time Telemetry (Premium)

The Real-Time Analytics feature in the Teams admin center allows admins to view their users’ meetings and identify issues related to audio, video, content sharing, and network connectivity. As an admin, you can use this information to investigate and address any problems with the meeting experience while the meeting is ongoing. Currently, the troubleshooting process for admins is manual and requires continuous admin involvement. The admin or engineer must search for a user, access their call history, identify ongoing meetings or live events they are participating in, and then search for the specific information needed to troubleshoot issues.However, with the introduction of Proactive Monitoring Notifications for In-Progress meetings, admins can efficiently monitor multiple meetings simultaneously for important users in their organization. This functionality enables admins to monitor audio, video, and app-sharing experiences based on various parameters and receive alerts if there are any issues with a user’s meeting experience.

This feature is part of the Teams premium add-on SKU. All admins will see the feature within the Teams admin center, but for users to be configured and enabled for monitoring notifications they are required to have a Teams Premium license assigned for this feature to work.
