explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft is introducing a new feature that allows Viva Glint admins to enable Microsoft 365 Copilot for the Company admin user role. This change is set to roll out between late July and late August 2025. Essentially, this update simplifies the process for Company Admins to access Copilot without needing to create additional custom roles, which previously added complexity to their workflow.
Think of this change like updating a car's navigation system. Previously, to access a new feature, you might have needed to buy an entirely new device or make significant modifications. Now, with this update, it's like the car manufacturer has built the new feature directly into the existing system, allowing you to simply turn it on with a switch. This makes it easier and more efficient to use the new capabilities without altering the core functions of the car.
For organizations, this means that the Company Admins can now enable Copilot directly within the Viva Glint settings without disrupting existing permissions or workflows. The rollout will happen automatically, so there's no need for immediate action, but it would be wise to review current configurations and inform users about the upcoming changes. This ensures everyone is prepared and can take full advantage of the new capabilities once they become available.
