Onboarding & Policy Fixes with Teams Messages and Express Backup Updates

Fixed
  • Fixed an issue where users from service provider–managed organizations invited for tenant self-onboarding were granted only the OrganizationViewer role and could not start onboarding.
  • Fixed an issue where editing a partial organization backup policy via Select Processing Options overwrote the existing policy configuration instead of appending changes.
  • Fixed an issue where the consumed license counts for Flex, Express, and Premium were displayed incorrectly on the Microsoft 365 page.
  • Teams channel messages protection is now included at no additional cost for Flex tenants and is enabled automatically when you select the Microsoft Teams workload during tenant onboarding. When creating backup policies, you can choose which teams’ channel messages to protect.
  • Existing tenants can enable Teams channel messages protection in tenant Settings under the Microsoft 365 section. 
  • Tenants with eligible plans can now activate Express backups via the Microsoft 365 section in tenant settings.
