Assessment Reasoning
This introduces a preview option allowing Entra users without licenses to appear as activity recipients in Dynamics 365 apps. It affects data and collaboration fields but requires no configuration or action. Admins mainly need to be aware of the preview and its implications for licensing and recipient handling. Impact is moderate and informational with low urgency.
