Admin submissions portal in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 GCC
I'm having a hard time understanding why Microsoft doesn't rescan emails submitted through the Admin Submissions page in the Microsoft 365 Security portal. I also don't understand why URL and File submissions are disabled for Administrators. Why should a tenant admin need to open a support ticket to submit a phishing/malicious email in order for Microsoft to actually review it? How does this protect tenants from phishing emails that specifically target US/State/Local employees? Accounts assigned Security/Organization/Global admin roles should be able to submit emails, urls, and files to Microsoft directly through the Admin submissions page. Microsoft should acknowledge when a privileged account is submitting a missed malware/phishing/spam email, rescan the submission and use the submission to improve threat intelligence filters.Welcome to the Public Sector community!

For GCC folks deploying PowerApps for use on mobile platform, on the Login screen for the app, at the bottom right corner, there's a settings gear. You must set your Region for your environment. The default is "Global" and had to set ours to "US Government GCC" for the apps to appear. Took me a while to find this as I was searching PowerApps docs instead of GCC-specific PowerApps docs. As soon as the Region was set correctly, the apps were there. Perhaps this should be in the troubleshooting document?
