365 Permission Manager Release on January 21st, 2026
Enhancements
- Policy Exclusion – A new site action has been added to the Explore Sites view, allowing admins to exclude sites from policy assignment. When a site is excluded, any existing policies are unassigned and future policy assignments are prevented unless the exclusion is removed.
Improvements
- Admins can now clear the default policy setting in the Compliance Policies view, allowing automatic policy assignment to be disabled without deleting the policy.
- Performance improvements in Explore Sites, To Do, and Activity Log significantly reduce loading times for larger lists.
- Improved performance of the Site Owner selection dropdown across multiple filters and features, reducing list loading times.
- Improved handling of custom permissions to ensure they are consistently displayed in the permissions panel in the To Do and Explore Sites views.
- Additional policy filter options are now available in the Explore Sites view for sites without a policy and for sites excluded from policy assignment.
- Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
