M365 Changelog: Viva Insights Feature Admin Controls: Reflection

MC697806 – Microsoft has added new capabilities for admins in Viva Insights: Admins can disable the Reflection feature for their tenant, individual users, or AAD groups and M365 Groups. 

When this will happen:

These changes will start to roll out in December 2023 and will be available worldwide by early February 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

A new capability for admins offers more flexibility to manage user access to specific Insights features: to start with, Insights Admins can configure access to the Reflection feature. They can configure access at the tenant level, group level (using AAD groups or M365 Groups), or at the user level, for maximum flexibility.

Admins will now have the ability to configure access to this feature using a Powershell cmdlet. Use the Add-VivaModuleFeaturePolicy cmdlet to add a new access policy for a specific feature in Viva – in this case, Reflection. The attributes of the policy are defined using the various parameters of the cmdlet. Policies are used to restrict or grant access to the specified feature for specific users, groups, or the entire tenant.
