Release Date for the US Government Environment: April 20, 2025

• The following changes have been made to the left navigation:

  • Service-level policies has been renamed to Service level and Tenant-level policies has been renamed to Tenant level.

  • Help has been renamed to Help & Resources.

• Policy templates on the dashboard have been enhanced for a more user-friendly experience.

• You now have the option to promote primary contacts, secondary contacts, and specific users/groups to site collection administrators until the required number is met when using the Site Collection Administrator Number Restriction rule.

• There is now an option to skip monitoring users whose access requests are still pending when using the User/Group Restriction rule.

• A new Privacy filter condition is now available, allowing you to filter Microsoft 365 Groups by their privacy status when adding rules to a policy.

• An enhancement has been made to the Display name and Domain conditions of user properties in a Defined Group, so that deleted users in Microsoft Entra ID can now be targeted.

  This enhancement is intended specifically for the User/Group Restriction rule. It will be effective in two scenarios: when the Defined Group includes the Display name or Domain user property condition and the conjunction is set to Any; when the Defined Group has no additional user property conditions other than Display name and Domain and the conjunction is set to All.
