Role-based access to alerts in Office 365 Security

 

 

Organization: HCS COMPANY

Updated feature: Role-based access to alerts in Office 365 Security

 

 

	Major update: General Availability rollout started
	Applied to: All customers

 

We’re updating alert policies in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center with more granular role-based access control. With this feature, admins will have more granular control over which alerts can be viewed by whom in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center. After the release, roles a user has will determine what category of alerts they have access to. For example, a Compliance admin will no longer have access to Threat management or Mail flow alerts, which helps them better focus on triaging and investigating compliance related alerts, like Data governance, Data loss prevention, etc. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 44245. We'll be gradually rolling this out to customers starting February 19, 2019 and the roll out will be completed worldwide by the end of March. [How does this affect me?] Today, when admins go to the View alerts page in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center, they can see all alerts regardless of the category of alerts if they have the "ManageAlerts" or "ViewOnlyManageAlerts" role. With this change, they will need more specific roles in addition to "ManageAlerts" or “ViewOnlyManageAlerts" in order to see specific categories of alerts. [What do I have to do to prepare for this change?] For users or admins who need to access alerts, make sure they have the correct roles assigned in the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center before the change rolls out.
