M365 Changelog: (Updated) New policy settings available for Microsoft Feedback Portal

MC344040 – Updated March 29, 2022: Microsoft has updated the content below for clarity. Thank you for your feedback.

Microsoft is introducing a new policy for admins to be able to manage user access to the Feedback portal (announced in MC289676). The Feedback portal allows your users to submit community feedback and interact with (upvote, comment) feedback submitted by other users. It also allows for users to track and follow-up on feedback they submit to Microsoft.

The feedback Microsoft collects from its users is available for you to review in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Keeping the feedback experiences enabled will let you see what your users are saying about the products they are using.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rolling this out in mid-April and expect to complete rollout late April. 

How this will affect your organization:

Microsoft is shipping this feature on by default.

• Allow users to access the Feedback portal

What you need to do to prepare:

If you would like to change the default, configure policies at https://config.office.com after logging in as a Global admin. Search for Feedback portal and configure for Azure Active Directory (AAD) groups as you see fit.
