More Information

We're making some changes to the Security Admin permissions.

Starting July 18, Security Admins will have an expanded authority to control Microsoft security products to access Microsoft 365 Customer Data. Within Microsoft Copilot for Security, the purpose of this is to allow users to query information directly from those Microsoft 365 products in the standalone and embedded experiences. 

When this will happen:

July 18, 2024

How this affects your organization:

You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates one or more users in your organization are using Microsoft Copilot for Security. 

Admins can choose not to allow Copilot for Security access to your Microsoft 365 services in the owner settings at any time. When access is disabled, users won't be able to use specific plugins, like Microsoft Purview, or connect to any future integrated or embedded Microsoft 365 services. 

What you need to do to prepare:

When this change takes effect, there is no action needed from Security Admins, but they will have a new ability to control this decision for their organization available to them.
