Microsoft Outlook: Adding security to feedback policy checks across all user accounts [MC892652]

Before this rollout, when we determine whether a user is entitled to submit feedback for Microsoft Outlook, we only look at the feedback policy for a user’s primary account (also known as the global account). This message applies to new Outlook on Windows desktop and Outlook on the web.

After this rollout, we will make the feedback policy check more restrictive, which is more secure. We will base their eligibility on the most feedback restrictive policy value in all of the user’s accounts. For example, if any of the user’s accounts have feedback disabled by a policy, we will not show the Feedback button in the Help tab of the ribbon in Outlook for any of their accounts.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 416296.

[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late October 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024.

[How this will affect your organization:]

A user with a policy that disables feedback on one of their accounts will lose access to feedback for all their accounts.

After this rollout, this change will be on by default.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.

    The upcoming update for Microsoft Outlook is all about adding extra security to feedback policy checks for users. Before this change, feedback eligibility was based on the policy of the user’s primary account. But now, with the new rollout, the most restrictive feedback policy across all user accounts will determine eligibility. So, if any account has feedback disabled, the Feedback button won’t show up in Outlook for any of their accounts. This change is set to roll out starting late September 2024 and should be completed by late November 2024.

    Now, let’s talk about how this will impact admins and users. Admins might need to inform users about this change and update any relevant documentation. Users, on the other hand, might lose access to feedback if any of their accounts have feedback disabled. So, it’s important to be aware of these changes and stay updated.

    In terms of criticality, this update is pretty important as it enhances security by making feedback policy checks more stringent. It ensures that feedback access is aligned with the most restrictive policy across all user accounts, which is crucial for maintaining a secure environment.

    So, get ready for a more secure Outlook experience with this update, and remember, feedback is key, unless it’s disabled by policy! #newoutlookforwindows
