Admins or app owners can now safely pause an app’s access to Entra protected resources without deleting it or disrupting configuration. When deactivated, the app and its service principals globally (across tenants) can’t request new tokens and user sign ins are blocked, while existing tokens simply expire on their normal schedule. This makes it easy for admins to temporarily freeze suspicious or unused apps during investigations, bulk cleanup, or tenant hygiene work. This capability is now available in the Entra admin center (App registrations, Enterprise apps) and Microsoft Graph API.
LaunchedMicrosoft Edge
Password autofill suggestions in Edge are currently based on top-level domain matching, which means the same credentials can be suggested on sites like account.microsoft.com and office.microsoft.com. With this feature, Edge groups related domains together across various desktop and mobile properties called affiliations. When a customer visits a URL, the Edge client will query the affiliations backend to obtain “affiliated groups” for that URL. The process involves sending a hash of the visited URLs to the service, which then returns a list of affiliated URLs and ensures that the relevant credentials will be displayed in the autofill suggestions across affiliated domains. Admins can control access to this feature using the PasswordManagerEnabled policy.

Viva Glint's Company Admin role currently prevents editing of any role permissions, including feature controls for survey program reporting. While this restriction helps prevent accidental disruption of critical admin capabilities, it has emerged as a significant barrier to Copilot adoption. Customers must create and maintain redundant custom roles solely to enable Copilot access for Company Admin users, adding unnecessary complexity to deployment and ongoing management. This feature update will allow Company Admins to enable Copilot for themselves at the Viva Glint client user role level via a new toggle in General Settings. This enables Copilot across all eligible recurring and ad-hoc survey programs without altering the permissions architecture of the Company Admin role at the program level. All existing Company Admin user role permissions remain locked to preserve critical admin safeguards. This targeted change preserves essential admin role safeguards while removing a key friction point in Copilot deployment.
