Microsoft Teams: Assistant information now available in Organization view [MC1405501]

Message ID: MC1405501

[What and Why:]

Microsoft Teams will now display Assistant information in the Organization section of a user’s profile card, in addition to the existing Contacts tab experience. Users can view Assistant information directly from the Organization section when it is populated on a profile, improving the discoverability of Assistant information within Teams.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 565221.

[Rollout Schedule:]

• Targeted Release (Worldwide): Beginning early July 2026; expected to complete by mid-July 2026
• General Availability (Worldwide): Beginning mid-July 2026; expected to complete by mid-August 2026

[Impact on Your Organization:]

Who is affected: Organizations that populate the Assistant field in Microsoft 365 user profiles and users who view profile cards in Teams.

Platforms/Services:

• Microsoft Teams (desktop, web)
• Microsoft 365 user profiles

What will happen:

• The Assistant field will be displayed in the Organization section of Teams profile cards.
• This information will appear automatically if populated in user profiles.
• The feature will be enabled by default.
• The Assistant designation is informational only and does not grant permissions, change reporting structures, or modify user roles.

[Action Required / Recommendations:]

No action is required if your organization already populates Assistant information.

If you want to review or configure this property:

• Review Assistant property settings in SharePoint Admin Center → More Features → User Profiles → Manage User Properties → Assistant.
• Notify executive assistants and support staff of this change.
• Update internal documentation if applicable.

[Compliance considerations:]

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
