Summary:
The Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal's AI Assistant is now available to all portal roles with RBAC-enforced data access, expanding beyond Global Admins.

[Introduction]
We're expanding access to the AI Assistant in the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal so more IT admins can quickly get answers about their rooms and devices. Previously available only to Global Admins, the AI Assistant will now be accessible to all portal roles while continuing to enforce existing role-based access control (RBAC). This helps admins get faster insights without increasing access or visibility beyond what they already manage. This update is rolling out as a Public Preview starting the week of April 23, 2026, with General Availability planned for May 2026.
[When this will happen]
Public Preview: Rolling out in late April 2026, with completion expected by early May 2026.
General Availability (Worldwide): Rolling out in late April 2026, with completion expected in early May 2026.

Direct effects for Operations**
Increased Access to AI Assistant
With the AI Assistant now available to all portal roles, there may be confusion among IT admins regarding the scope of their permissions, leading to potential misuse or misinterpretation of data access.

User Experience Variability
As more roles gain access to the AI Assistant, the variability in user experience may increase, as different admins may have different levels of familiarity with the tool, potentially leading to inconsistent support for end-users.
