MC394931: Microsoft 365 admin center: Reports in the Admin Center – API available to manage user, group, and site names

Updated August 9, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft is releasing an API that helps Global Administrators change how user, group, and site names are displayed in the Microsoft 365 admin center based on their organization’s privacy practices without having to manually change the setting in Org Settings -> Reports. User, group and site names are concealed by default. When this setting is changed, administrative roles and the report reader role will be able to see identifiable user level information. Global reader and Usage Summary Reports Reader roles will not have access to identifiable user information, regardless of the setting chosen. Showing identifiable user information is a logged event in the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center Audit log. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 93313.

An API will be released that helps Global Administrators change how user, group, and site names are displayed in the Microsoft 365 admin center based on their organizations privacy practices without having to manually change the setting in Org Settings – Reports.
