Who can use compliance manager?
I want to take a serious look at compliance manager over the next few weeks and as such I am trying to figure out which of our customers would able to use it. I have noticed that clients that only have Exchange Online Plan 1 licenses can access it, are these clients able to use it and are there any restrictions due to not having any SharePoint licenced products in their tenant?
Hi Peter, have you seen the details on this page, I can't see any specific mention of licences though - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-compliance-manager-to-help-meet-data-protection-and-regulatory-requirements-when-using-microsoft-cloud-services-429e686f-d8a6-455e-a2b6-3791d763f000?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#permissions_1.
"By default, everyone in your organization with an Office 365 or Azure AD account has access to Compliance Manager and can perform any action in Compliance Manager."
This behaviour can be changed by adding a user to each role, for example adding a user to Compliance Manager Reader, then only listed users will have access to compliance manager.

- IMHO Cian is correct, so any customer with an Office 365 plan (no matter of the type of plan) can use the Compliance Manager
Thank you for the replies gents, I thought I had read that it required a Business or Enterprise plan but I guess I must have dreamt it.
