Microsoft Teams admin center: New Teams Reader role
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new Teams Reader role in the admin center, providing read-only access to most settings. The rollout begins in June 2025 for general availability and July 2025 for GCC High and DoD. Global admins can assign this role, which is ideal for visibility without edit permissions. No admin action is required before rollout. We’re excited to announce the rollout of a new built-in role-based access control (RBAC) role in the Microsoft Teams admin center called Teams Reader. This role is designed to provide read-only access across all* pages in the Teams admin center, enabling secure visibility without the risk of unintended changes. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025. General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by late July 2025. How this will affect your organization: The new Teams Reader role is ideal for scenarios where visibility into Teams admin settings is required without granting edit permissions. The new role can read everything* that the Teams admin can manage but not update anything. *Role limitations No access to view Teams management (will be added soon; we will update this post when available) No access to Meetings & Calls details of users (will be added soon; we will update this post when available) No access to Notifications & Rules management (will be added soon; we will update this post when available) No access to Frontline worker deployment management No access to the Collaboration activity dashboard Global admins can perform assign/unassign operations for the new RBAC role from the Microsoft Entra admin center or Microsoft 365 admin center.
