Questions:
1. Did I hear correctly that all users who receive communications generated using Amplify will need to be licensed for Amplify?
2. Can you speak to security roles that are needed for Corp Comm users to create communications in a campaign? We have strong Enterprise Governance policies around who can have admin roles (such as Sharepoint Admin and Group Admin)? Need to understand what is the least privilege role that would be needed by someone in Corp Comm to manage communications, and if they can do so without having the ability to create the Sharepoint sites used for campaigns.

Dec 07, 2023Hey Horace,
Yes, all users (including recipients) will require licenses. Though keep in mind this also gives them access to Viva Engage premium, Viva Connections premium, and Answers and allows for participation in premium capabilities like advanced analytics, AMAs, Campaigns, Leadership Corner, Multi-tenant publishing, etc. There may be some experiences and end points that users will be able to consume w/o the license but the expectation is that all users do have one.
For the second part, here is a page on Amplify roles: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/amplify/viva-amplify-roles
SharePoint Admins will be required to deploy Amplify, but then the user just needs to be a M365 Group Owner in order to send to that group (or an admin of a Viva Engage community to send an announcement to that community, etc.)
- JM_Lamont_HendersonDec 07, 2023Copper ContributorThanks for addressing the questions. Regarding security - it sounds like the approach we are thinking of would work - our defined Sharepoint and Group Admins would create the Campaign, make users within Corp Comm the owner of the Campaign, and then they would be able to proceed forward in Amplify for developing communication-based on rights they already have. Does that sound correct?
