About this tag
The microsoft 365 admin tag covers the administration of Microsoft 365, including identity management, security policy, compliance, and business continuity. Recent discussions focus on managing AI features like Copilot, which has usage-based pricing for agent tasks and requires careful governance across admin portals and group policies. Administrators also deal with Outlook updates, such as calendar parity, folder sharing, and the delayed enterprise opt-out for the new Outlook. Other topics include the removal of iCal feeds in Planner and the reliability of Copilot as a productivity dependency. These threads highlight the evolving role of the Microsoft 365 admin as a control point for cloud productivity, security, and AI integration.
