Summary:
Microsoft Purview is updating permissions so all roles with DLP policy view access can also run diagnostics, enhancing troubleshooting and visibility without changing enforcement. This rollout begins late April 2026 and affects various admin and compliance roles. No action is required from organizations.
Details:
[Introduction]
We're updating permissions in Microsoft Purview so that all roles that can view Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies can also run diagnostics on those policies. This change improves visibility and helps authorized users more easily troubleshoot, validate, and understand DLP policy behavior without requiring elevated permissions.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 557192.
[When this will happen]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late April 2026 and expect to complete rollout by late May 2026.

Direct effects for Operations**
Increased Risk of Misconfiguration
With more roles able to run diagnostics, there is a potential for misinterpretation of DLP policies leading to incorrect configurations, which could inadvertently expose sensitive data.
