Day in brief

My Staff access shifts to role scope as legacy experience settings are removed

The clearest administrator-relevant change is the removal path for legacy My Staff and My Apps experience settings: the updated guidance says they no longer affect behavior, while role assignments and administrative-unit scope determine My Staff access and application assignments plus My Apps collections control application visibility. A separate Global Secure Access update documents how to inspect modified custom-header transactions; most remaining edits standardize Microsoft Copilot naming, with documented licensing and role identifiers unchanged where stated.

  • The My Staff delegation guidance now says access is determined by administrative role assignments and their administrative unit scope. It also says the legacy settings under Manage user feature settings no longer affect behavior and are being removed. Administrators should use role assignments and administrative-unit scoping instead.

  • The application experience page says legacy preview and experience settings no longer affect app launchers or user behavior and are being removed from the Microsoft Entra admin center. It directs administrators to application assignments and My Apps collections to control user visibility.

  • The custom headers preview guidance now explains how to find modified-header transactions under Traffic Logs > Transactions by adding the Custom Headers column. During the September 2026 rollout, a special Entra Admin Center link may be needed to view these details; no required configuration change is stated.

  • Several licensing entries now use Microsoft Copilot branding instead of Microsoft 365 Copilot. In the documented rows, service-plan identifiers and mappings remain unchanged; the update affects the names used when reviewing licenses and service plans.
