Updates to Security Admin permissions for Microsoft Copilot for Security

Starting July 2024, 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 M365 products in the standalone and embedded experiences. 

 

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. 

 

This change will take effect July 1st. Other admin roles will not be affected by this change.
