Message Details

Coming soon for Microsoft Viva Insights: Admins (global admins or Insights admins) will be able to assign or remove delegates for a manager, using Microsoft PowerShell cmdlets.

Before this rollout, only managers can assign delegates.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 464207.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-November 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early January 2025 and expect to complete by late January 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

Managers will continue to be able to assign delegates in the Viva Insights app and this experience will not change.
