• The user activity report now logs the Call API to Get User Activity Report action. Each instance of the audit.read.all API call for retrieving user activities will have its audit details included in the exported user activity reports.

• The Quick start wizard now dynamically displays the Scan profile step based on whether a customer’s organization has a subscription for a service supporting Auto discovery. If not, this step will not appear in the wizard.

#What’s New in App Management?

• When creating an app profile for a Google tenant, the Custom mode method is now selected by default, and a Recommended label has been added to highlight that the Custom mode method is the recommended option.

If you select the Modern mode, a warning message will explain why the Custom mode is recommended.

• As more and more services require the Exchange Administrator role for apps in Microsoft Entra ID, the prompt message for role assignment has been optimized to cover all services and scenarios.

#What’s New in Auto Discovery?

  • For Connection, Power App, Power Automate, or Solution objects, use the Environment > Type criterion.

  • For Power App objects, use the App type criterion.

  • For Google Shared drive objects, use the Organizational units criterion.

• In Job monitor, the status of the objects that were not scanned into containers due to minor errors has been changed from Failed to Exception.

• In Auto discovery > Containers, when you select a container of the Microsoft 365 Group / Microsoft Team / Viva Engage community object type and use the Batch import method to import Group Teams, you can now select the Include channels when importing checkbox if you want the import job to retrieve channels automatically.

• After running a scan profile to scan Microsoft 365 Group / Microsoft Team / Viva Engage community objects, the exported job report can now include the Group team site URL column in the Groups_Teams_Engage communities sheet.
