Microsoft Viva Insights is introducing a new feature that allows users to request delegate access from their managers directly within the Insights Teams or Web app. Previously, only managers had the ability to assign delegate access, meaning they had to initiate the process. Now, potential delegates can take the first step by requesting access themselves.

Think of it like a key to a shared office space. Before, only the office manager could decide who got a key, and they had to remember to hand it out. Now, if you need a key to help with tasks, you can simply ask the manager for one. This makes it easier and quicker for everyone involved. The manager still has the final say, but the process is more streamlined.

This change is available across various platforms, including iOS, Android, and web applications, making it accessible to users regardless of their device. It's designed to improve the flexibility and ease of managing access within Microsoft Viva Insights, ensuring that teams can work more efficiently together.
