Hi Shreyanarla,
Is the Engage Admin role only available to the Viva customers? what if your customers are still only M365 customers, as Karen shared, being able to carry out all the day to day duties as a Yammer Verified admin was so handy, is this still possible pls or do you have to been assigned several different roles for this to be effective pls?

Feb 27, 2023@bernie - The Engage admin role is available for existing yammer core/ Viva Engage core and Viva Customers. So if you are a M365 customer with yammer enterprise plan, or seeded Viva Engage experiences as of now, the Engage admin role is still available to you. The Engage admin role can carry out ALL duties of a Yammer verified admin and some additional admin tasks pertaining to Engage specifically as well. We have moved away from the model of assigning several different admin roles and made it easier for our customers.
Summary of recommendation - Assign users ENGAGE admin role (by assigning them yammer AAD role) in order to perform all admin tasks within Viva Engage and Yammer.
Note: we are actively working on rebranding Yammer AAD role to reflect Engage admin.
