| MC188875 | Updated Feature: Yammer uses your Office profile | Currently, if a Yammer user has a corresponding Office identity, their profile information is synced from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) upon their first sign-in on Yammer or if their ADD profile changes. However, Yammer allows users to modify profile information. This can result in situations where information is out of date or scenarios where a user can change their name and photo and then impersonate someone in Yammer. Going forward; If a Yammer user does not have a corresponding Office identity, they will not be affected by this feature. For Yammer users who do have a corresponding Office identity, we will perform a sync so that Yammer and Office profiles match. Going forward, Yammer users will need to contact their IT administrator, as with other Office 365 apps, in order to change their profile information. Any Yammer profile fields that cannot be synced with an Office profile, such as a link to a Facebook profile, will be removed during the sync process. We'll be gradually rolling this out to customers in late September. The roll out will be completed worldwide by the end of October. |
