summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Places is introducing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in August 2025, allowing organizations to assign specific administrative roles such as Places administrators, building administrators, and desk administrators to manage office spaces more efficiently without centralizing all tasks through a single IT team.
Direct effects for Operations**
Role-Based Access Control Implementation
Without proper preparation, the implementation of RBAC may lead to unauthorized access to sensitive resources, as roles may not be correctly assigned or understood by users, resulting in potential data breaches or misuse of privileges.
