"textContent": "**[What and Why:]**\n\nWe’re introducing enhanced access policy controls for **Organizational Data custom attributes** in Microsoft 365. This update provides administrators with more granular control over how and when new organizational attributes are shared. Admins can limit release to a few selected users using the new Staging policy and can better manage access to non-public data shared with Workforce Insights delegates. This change supports stronger data governance while enabling controlled sharing of new attributes.\n\nThis message is associated with Roadmap ID 564805.\n\n**[Rollout Schedule:]**\n\n * Public Preview (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in **mid-June 2026** and expect to complete by **mid-July 2026**.\n * General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in **mid-July 2026** and expect to complete by **early August 2026**.\n\n\n\n**[Impact on Your Organization:]**\n\n**Who is affected:** Microsoft 365 administrators managing access policies in Organizational Data for Microsoft 365.\n\n**Platforms/Services:**\n\n * Microsoft 365\n * Organizational Data in Microsoft 365\n * Workforce Insights\n\n\n\n**What will happen:**\n\n * New **granular access controls** for custom organizational attributes.\n * Admins can:\n * Release new attributes to **selected users or groups** instead of the entire organization or all managers.\n * Control whether**leaders can share non-public data** with Workforce Insights delegates.\n * Existing policies are unchanged.\n * New attributes default to not shared until explicitly configured.\n * No user impact unless enabled by admin.\n\n\n\n**[Action Required / Recommendations:]**\n\n**No action is required** to maintain current behavior.\n\nAdmins may optionally:\n\n * Customize the Staging policy for upcoming custom non-public attributes.\n * Update Organizational Data access policies to take advantage of the new granular controls.\n * Communicate internally with data owners or analytics teams about the new policy options.\n\n\n\n**[Compliance Considerations:]**\n\nAdmin control via policy is impacted due to the introduction of new access controls for Organizational Data custom attributes. No other compliance considerations were identified.",
