Do we need Viva Insights Advanced licenses for aat least 50 users to access the Manager Effectiveness report, or is it sufficient to have just one Viva Insights Advanced license for an Insights Analyst to create and share the report?
Hi namita,
Good question, to answer I have provided a few links for reference.
You will need a minimum of 50 licenses assigned to your employees in order for data processing to kick off in the first place.
After that in order to run the Manager Effectiveness query (which is required to set up the report), you will need to have licenses assigned to the set of employees that you would like to analyze.
So in short, yes you will need at least 50 licenses assigned, but if you already have Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses, those employees will automatically have a Viva Insights license assigned to them.

Manager effectiveness report | Microsoft LearnHi,
We currently have Microsoft 365 E5 licenses for more than 50 users. I wanted to confirm whether Viva Insights is included in this plan.
Also, to access the Manager Effectiveness report in Viva Insights:
Do we need to purchase Viva Insights Advanced licenses for all 50 users, or
Can the report be accessed with our existing E5 licenses?
Alternatively, is it sufficient to purchase the Viva Insights Advanced license for just one person (e.g., the analyst creating the report)?

Hi namita - you essentially need a Viva Insights premium license for every user who needs to be in the measured population for the Manager effectiveness query. The Viva insights features that you can access via the E5 license does NOT provide premium features which allow for the Manager effectiveness report.
