Microsoft Viva Glint: Copilot will default to ON and move to VFAM as the single control
Viva Glint will default Copilot to ON and remove its internal toggles, using Viva Feature Access Management (VFAM) as the sole control for Copilot access starting March 2026. Admins must manage access via VFAM; users see Copilot by default if they have Glint permissions. No M365 Copilot license is needed. We are simplifying how your organization manages Copilot access in Viva Glint. Viva Glint will now use Viva Feature Access Management (VFAM) as the single control plane for Copilot access, consistent with other Microsoft Copilot experiences. As part of this change, the existing Glint service‑level Copilot toggles will be removed, and Copilot will default to ON at the Glint service level. This removes unnecessary admin friction caused by the current dual‑gate model and ensures a clearer, more consistent governance experience across Microsoft 365. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 551197. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in early March 2026 and is expected to complete by late March 2026. How this affects your organization Who is affected All organizations using Viva Glint. Viva Glint service admins who previously managed Copilot toggles within Glint. Global/M365/Viva Glint Tenant Admins who manage feature access using VFAM. Users with Glint permissions (Reports + Comments access) who will see Copilot by default unless restricted in VFAM. What’s changing The Copilot enable/disable settings currently found in Viva Glint admin pages (per survey program, per role, and Company Admin settings) will be removed. Copilot will default to ON for all customers at the Glint service layer. VFAM becomes the single, authoritative control for Copilot access in Viva Glint. What stays the same VFAM access policies (tenant, group, user) continue to apply and default to ON. Learn more: Control access to features in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn.
