Summary:
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new Teams Reader role in the admin center, providing read-only access to most settings. The rollout begins in June 2025 for general availability and July 2025 for GCC High and DoD. Global admins can assign this role, which is ideal for visibility without edit permissions. No admin action is required before rollout.
Details:
We're excited to announce the rollout of a new built-in role-based access control (RBAC) role in the Microsoft Teams admin center called Teams Reader. This role is designed to provide read-only access across all* pages in the Teams admin center, enabling secure visibility without the risk of unintended changes.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025.
General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by late July 2025.

Direct effects for Operations**
Limited visibility for non-admin users
With the introduction of the Teams Reader role, non-admin users may experience limited visibility into Teams settings, which could hinder their ability to understand the configuration and management of Teams within the organization.
