What and Why
Starting in early August, Microsoft is introducing a new tenant-level service plan—Insights by MyAnalytics Backend—to support existing user-level service plans: Microsoft MyAnalytics (Full) and Insights by MyAnalytics. This backend-only update ensures alignment with security classification requirements while maintaining current MyAnalytics functionality. No changes are being made to user-facing features or SKU entitlements.
Rollout Schedule
- Rollout begins: Early August 2025 with expected completion: Mid-August 2025
- Who is affected:
- Tenants with users assigned to Microsoft MyAnalytics (Full) or Insights by MyAnalytics service plans.
- Admins managing service plan assignments in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- What will happen:
- A new tenant-level service plan called Insights by MyAnalytics Backend will appear in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- This plan will be enabled and greyed out, indicating it is not assignable or removable by admins.
- Existing user-level service plans remain unchanged and assignable.
- Admins will see both the new backend plan and the existing user-level plans in the admin center.
- No changes to SKU entitlements or service capabilities.
