We've added admin center links to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse so you can more efficiently manage your customers. The admin center links let you to go directly from Lighthouse to the applicable admin center for the selected customer tenant.

Managed Service Provider (MSP) technicians responsible for managing granular delegated administrative privileges (GDAP) can now get at-a-glance details of all their customers' delegated relationships in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. This new capability helps ensure GDAP is set up correctly for all of your customers.

We've made some changes to the tenant filtering experience to help you quickly view and manage tenants and tags from any page within Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Select the Tenants filter at the top of any page and then browse or enter the tenant or tag name that you want to filter by.

To see which new features are currently available in your partner tenant, go to the Home page of Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, and then either select the What's new link in the upper-right corner of the page or select What's new on the What's new & learning resources card.

For any tenant, go to the Deployment plan page, expand the Set up device enrollment task, select the Configure device enrollment sub-task to open the task details pane, and then select Deploy. 

This insight helps you effectively engage fellow tenant admins—either in your organization or in the customer's organization—to educate them about the impact of their activity and how to mitigate future risks associated with configuration drift.

In addition, the App management report makes it easy to determine if customers are running unsupported Office builds or are behind on the latest build. This helps you proactively identify potential end-user issues that could arise from using Office builds that are out of date. These insights are available for any customers with Win32 devices—there's no Intune requirement on the customer tenant.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now provides a deployment status for each tenant's deployment plan so you can optimize and prioritize your deployment efforts accordingly.

We've redesigned the user details pane to include more user information and more actions that you can take to better manage users. It now has the same look and feel as the user details pane in the Microsoft 365 admin center. To access the user details pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, select Users in the left navigation pane, and then select either Search users or Risky users. Select any user to open the details pane.

We're continuously adding new features to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, fixing issues we learn about, and making changes based on your feedback. Review this article to discover what we've been working on.

"BEAMER" STRUCTURAL STEEL ANCHOR "Beamer Fall Arrester", hereafter referred to as "Beamer", has been designed and approved as a fall arresting device for ...

You no longer need to have a Microsoft Entra ID P1 license to manage the Lighthouse RBAC Account Manager role. This change means that security groups assigned to the Lighthouse RBAC Account Manager role no longer need to be a role-assignable group. You can now assign any security group, including existing security groups, to the Lighthouse RBAC Account Manager role.

We've changed our onboarding requirements to allow you to onboard Microsoft 365 E3 customers to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. To qualify to be managed in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, each customer must meet the following requirements:

We've made it easier to communicate with users in your customer tenants about actions they're required to take. From the list of users not registered for multifactor authentication (MFA) or self-service password reset (SSPR), you can now select one or more users and send them an email message using a downloadable email template.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now has the capability to identify deployment tasks that have regressed—or drifted—from a Compliant or Dismissed state to a state of Not compliant or Not licensed.

With the expansion of tenants that are eligible for management in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, we've added data availability insights to our management pages so you know whether you're seeing complete data, partial data, or no data. Lighthouse also helps you understand why data may be missing or incomplete for some of your customer tenants and what steps you can take to get full visibility.

You can now act on the incidents and alerts shown on the Device security > Incidents and alerts page. The actions currently supported include assigning the incident or alert to yourself or resolving the incident or alert.

Sales Advisor, formerly known as Project Orland in Partner Center Insights, is now integrated into Microsoft 365 Lighthouse.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now provides a deployment plan status for each active tenant to help you optimize and prioritize your deployment efforts. The deployment plan status is found on the Tenants page and on the new Deployment insights page.

Based on user feedback, we've integrated Windows 365 Business into Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. This integration will help you manage and monitor all of your customers' Cloud PCs from a single location.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now provides visibility into each managed tenant's deployment progress from the Tenants page so you can see how many of the assigned tasks are:

The default baseline now provides a mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) deployment sub-task to automate the enrollment of Windows devices in Intune. Previously, this was a manual task that provided instructions only.

You can now establish GDAP relationships with multiple reseller customers at once from within Microsoft 365 Lighthouse and assign users in the partner tenant to security groups with various roles and levels of permissions. To do this, you'll create reusable templates based on tiers of support for your customers and for various groups of technicians. You'll see recommended roles for each tier of support during this process. Once created, these templates can then be reapplied as needed to new customers. This functionality allows you to quickly establish GDAP with your customers by using a least-privileged approach for users as a replacement for delegated administrative privileges (DAP).

We've updated the Tenants page to help you more easily manage your customer tenants in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Using the new List options feature, which you access by selecting the icon next to the search box, you can now view your customer tenants by domain name or tenant ID. We've also updated the Tenants page to reflect the new granular delegated administrative privileges (GDAP) setup and Lighthouse management capabilities.

We've updated the Microsoft Defender Firewall and Microsoft Defender Antivirus policy settings in our default baseline to provide enhanced protection for your customer tenants. If you previously deployed the Configure Microsoft Defender Firewall for Windows 10 and later or the Configure Microsoft Defender Antivirus for Windows 10 and later tasks, your customer tenants are still protected with the original policy settings. However, on the Deployment plan page, the deployment steps for these two tasks will show a status of Not compliant until you deploy the new enhanced policy settings. To activate these enhanced policy settings, you'll need to go through the deployment process again for both the Microsoft Defender Firewall and Microsoft Defender Antivirus deployment tasks. Once deployed, the deployment step statuses will show as Compliant again.

We've added Microsoft Copilot opportunities to Sales Advisor to help you identify customers who are eligible to buy Microsoft 365 Copilot. Microsoft Copilot is an AI companion that works everywhere you do and intelligently adapts to your needs.

Wondering how much storage your customer tenant users are consuming? You can now monitor mailbox storage usage right from the tenant details page. Want to easily monitor the Microsoft subscriptions you've sold to customers? See subscription details, renewal dates, and any associated services—all in one place.

As part of the device compliance baseline step, we've added the capability to notify users in a customer tenant to act on noncompliant devices. With this change, once you apply the device compliance deployment step for any customer tenant, the device compliance policy created in that tenant will automatically send a notification to users when their device becomes noncompliant reminding them to take appropriate action to bring the device back into compliance.

We've given the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse a new look. You'll notice a sleeker design, with top-level nodes like Tenants, Users, and Devices that expand to show related subnodes, like Risky users, Device compliance, and Threat management. This navigation model aligns with the model used by other Microsoft 365 admin centers.

To access this new page, in the left navigation pane in Lighthouse, select Sales Advisor (Project Orland) > Upcoming renewals.

Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can now deploy app protection policies for their managed tenants from within the default baseline in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, which allows greater protection of the tenants' company data. These policies use Mobile Application Management (MAM) on iOS and Android devices to provide the most secure protection for company data.

You can now create PowerShell scripts and check results for Intune-managed devices in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse instead of having to go to the device Scripts page in the Microsoft Intune admin center for each customer. To access this functionality, select Tenants from the left navigation pane in Lighthouse, select a tenant from the list, and then select the Scripts tab.

This new functionality detects existing policies within the customer tenants that you manage and compares them to your deployment plan. Microsoft 365 Lighthouse then provides status designations for deployment steps and deployment step processes to help you understand which deployment processes have already been completed, which ones need to be addressed, and where the settings prescribed by the deployment plan are equal to, missing from, or in conflict with the settings included in the existing policies. Knowing this information makes identifying, prioritizing, and resolving policy conflicts faster, easier, and more effective.

With the new baselines feature, you can now deploy standard configurations to help secure users, devices, and data in customer tenants. The default baseline currently contains the following deployment steps (with more coming soon):

If you're new to Sales Advisor, you must be a Lighthouse Account Manager in your partner tenant to access the Upcoming renewals page. For more information, see Overview of permissions in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. If you already have access to Sales Advisor, you don't need the Lighthouse Account Manager role at this time.

We've changed our onboarding requirements to allow you to onboard Microsoft 365 E5 customers to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. The expanded list of licenses that Microsoft 365 Lighthouse supports for onboarding includes Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft Defender for Business, and Windows 365 for Business. Customers who have at least one of any of these licenses, meet the requirements for delegated access privileges, and don't exceed the maximum number of licensed users can be managed in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse.

You can also exclude other accounts from the list, like service accounts or emergency access accounts. To access this functionality, go to Users > Multifactor authentication, select a tenant from the list to open the tenant details pane, and then select the Users not registered for MFA tab. These filtering and exclusion capabilities help you focus on relevant user accounts.

You can now view usage data for Microsoft 365 services from within Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Understanding how customers use their Microsoft 365 services is critical to helping them get the most out of their IT investments. Instead of using multiple resources to view information across your customers' various productivity, security, and compliance services, Microsoft 365 Lighthouse aggregates them into one simple, powerful view.

We've added a New users page that shows you all new users across your managed tenants in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. You can use this page to track and ensure that all recently onboarded users across your tenants have been properly set up with licenses, groups, and more.

Clone this new deployment task to add it to your custom baseline and then go to the deployment plan of your customer tenant to deploy the configuration.

Your feedback matters and is important to us, so we've added new feedback functionality that will occasionally (no more than once a month) prompt you to provide feedback. You can also provide feedback at any time by selecting the feedback icon in the upper-right corner of Microsoft 365 Lighthouse.

We're thrilled to announce a major upgrade to the tenant details page that lets you access key information related to your customer tenants from a single location. You no longer need to view multiple pages to get basic information. Our revamped Customer information section provides a centralized place for tracking key customer data and notes to help you stay proactive and optimize resources.

Lighthouse also now supports the ability to configure customized push-alerts to allow integration with your existing ticketing and support systems.

We've simplified management of granular delegated administrative privileges (GDAP) in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse by removing the GDAP Setup tool and replacing it with the Delegated access page. This new page lets you do the following:

We've added the capability to assign baseline configurations to specific Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) groups of your customer tenants from within Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. From any deployment step page, browse and select the specific Azure AD groups that you want to include or exclude, and then deploy the configurations to your customer tenant.

You can now exclude certain non-malicious threats from showing up for tenants on the Threat management page in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Go to the tenant's deployment plan, select Configure a Microsoft Defender Antivirus baseline policy, and then specify the file, folder, or file-type exclusions.

This versatile network adapter enables connections for up to 6 compatible Logitech devices, eliminating multiple USB receivers.

To access Copilot opportunities, in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, select Sales Advisor (Project Orland) > Opportunities, and then select the Customer growth tab.

Now that Microsoft 365 Lighthouse is in General Availability, we require our current partners to sign an updated Microsoft 365 Lighthouse partner amendment. All Microsoft 365 Lighthouse partners who signed up during the preview period will be prompted to complete this new agreement in the coming weeks. Completion will require Global Administrator rights in the partner tenant and must be completed within 90 days to continue accessing the Microsoft 365 Lighthouse portal.

To help you prioritize and drive subscription renewal discussions with customers more effectively, we've added a page to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse that lets you track customer subscriptions that are expiring within the next 90 days.

To view the status of your customers' delegated relationships, including delegated access type, whether a GDAP template has been assigned, number of active and pending relationships, nearest expiration date, and security groups with access to manage the customer tenant, go to Permissions > Delegated access.

You can now manage Sales Advisor access directly from the Lighthouse permissions page in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Assign the Lighthouse Account Manager role to users in your partner tenant who need full access to Sales Advisor pages, data across the entire partner tenant, and capabilities like the ability to export data.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse not only lets you know which deployment tasks have drifted from which tenants' deployment plans, but it also lets you see which settings, within which configurations, for which users, have drifted from the preferred state so that you can efficiently and effectively restore the tenant to a healthy, productive, and secure state.

The new Copilot insights page lets you easily manage and monitor Copilot success across your customer tenants—all in one place. In addition to recommending customers who are likely to find value from Copilot, the page shows Copilot usage and license assignment and provides links to key resources for you to become a Copilot expert, including Copilot Lab, learning paths, and training videos. The page also shows deployment progress for tasks that we specifically recommend for enabling Copilot.

To learn more, see "Optimize your renewal conversations with simplified renewal insights" in Blog post: Unlock the Copilot opportunity and grow your CSP business with Microsoft 365 Lighthouse.

The new App management report lets you easily monitor and manage Microsoft 365 app health across your customer tenants. For example, you can check to see if customer devices have Cloud Update enabled, which ensures apps are always up to date. The report also identifies which Microsoft 365 app channels are deployed across customer tenants that have the inventory service enabled in the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center and which app channels customers are receiving updates through.

The Windows event logs page in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate suggestions for mitigating issues found in Windows event logs. The "Collect Windows event logs" baseline enables collection of managed device event logs. After records have been ingested, you can view them by selecting Devices > Windows event logs in the left navigation pane in Lighthouse. To see additional details, select any log entry.

We've added the capability to monitor on-premises connections and provision and manage Windows 365 Cloud PCs across all of your customer tenants. The new Windows 365 page provides detailed information about all of your tenants' Cloud PCs in one convenient location.

You can now designate certain tenant tags as default from the Manage tags pane on the Tenants page, so the next time you sign in to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, all your views and insights will be filtered by default to show only the tenants that have a default tag. Default tags can help you focus on insights for high-priority customer tenants.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now integrates with Microsoft Defender for Business to bring you related insights and management capabilities for all of your customer tenants that have Microsoft Defender for Business. To see the list of customer devices that have been onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Business, select Devices in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. To see the list of incidents and alerts flagged across your customer tenants, go to Devices > Device Security, and then select the Incidents and alerts tab.

We've added a new column to the Tenants page in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse that shows the apps and services usage of each customer. This helps you identify customers who aren't fully utilizing the potential of Microsoft 365 and might need your guidance or support. The column displays the usage status of four core workloads: core Microsoft apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote), Teams, storage (SharePoint or OneDrive), and email (Exchange). A customer who has very low or no adoption of any of these workloads is marked as unhealthy. You can use this information to prioritize your actions and reach out to those customers who need more assistance or help setting up their Microsoft 365 subscription.

To check out these improvements, in the left navigation pane in Lighthouse, select Tenants, and then select any tenant in the list to open the tenant details page and view the Overview tab. From there you can also access the new Action items tab.

It's now possible to filter data by multiple tenant tags at the same time. This functionality can help you more easily filter the existing views and insights that are available in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse to show relevant customer tenants.

We're making it possible to manage more of your customers in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse by increasing the maximum license limit for customer onboarding. Customers with up to 1000 user licenses can now be onboarded to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. We'll continue to evaluate this requirement in future Microsoft 365 Lighthouse releases.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now provides a list of all the inactive user accounts in your managed tenants. To access the list, select Users > Inactive users in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. You can reduce security risks by using this list to track and clean up accounts that are still enabled but that haven't been used in the past six months.

We've updated the Tenants page to list the Managed Service Provider (MSP)'s delegated access type (None, DAP, GDAP, or Both DAP & GDAP) per customer under the Delegated access column. We've also added a new column titled Your roles that lists the DAP and GDAP roles per customer for a signed-in user. These two enhancements to the Tenants page will make it easier for MSP technicians to understand which types of delegated administrative privileges are available for each customer and which delegated roles have explicitly been granted to them.

Once the new sub-task is enabled and the deployment task is deployed, select Devices > Device health in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse to see the Endpoint analytics insights. 

You can now set up granular delegated administrative privileges (GDAP) for any customer tenant—regardless of which delegated relationship has already been set up—without the need for extra steps after a GDAP relationship is activated. Assign a GDAP template to any customer tenant in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, and once the customer approves the relationship, the security groups and support roles are automatically applied. There's no need to re-run GDAP Setup or take extra steps after a relationship is activated to apply all GDAP template settings.

You can now easily view and understand the reasons for a user's risk from within Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. In the left navigation pane of Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, select Users, and then select the Risky users tab. Select View risk detections in the Details column for any user. From here, you can review the details of the risk and then select Confirm user compromised or Dismiss user risk. You can also confirm or dismiss a risk for multiple users at the same time from the Risky users page.

We've also added a step to the default baseline to help you set up Microsoft Defender for Business for your customer tenants. To see this step, select Baselines in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse or view the deployment plan for any of your customer tenants.

To access mailbox storage information, in the left navigation pane in Lighthouse, select Tenants, and then select any tenant in the list to open the tenant details page. From there, select either the Overview tab or the Users tab, and then select Mailbox storage usage.

Deployment tasks can drift from a preferred state for any number of reasons that can be difficult to detect, and understanding how a customer tenant's configuration has drifted from the preferred state can be a complex and labor-intensive process.

In the left navigation pane of Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, select Audit logs. Or, go directly to the Audit logs page now to check it out.

Lastly, we've added a new pane that details the customer criteria for each of your customer tenants. For customers with a Limited Lighthouse management status, for example, you can select the tenant name to open this pane and see a detailed status and recommended next steps.

You can now create and apply custom tags to the customer tenants that you manage in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. Use these tags to help you organize your tenants, or use them to more easily filter your tenant list to show insights for relevant sets of customer tenants.

The Risky users page has been updated to show risky user information for all your onboarded customer tenants, even if the customer tenants don't have Azure Active Directory Premium P1 or above. For example, if a tenant only has a license for Microsoft Defender for Business or Windows 365 Business, you'll still be able to view the user accounts that have been flagged for risky behavior in that tenant.

To act on these deployment steps, select Tenants in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 lighthouse, select a tenant from the list of tenants, and then select the Deployment plan tab.

Since new features are rolled out gradually across Microsoft 365 Lighthouse partners, we've changed our "What's new" notifications to let you know when new features are available in your partner tenant.

We've added new functionality around email quarantine data for your managed tenants. Accessible by selecting Data protection in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, this feature gives you visibility into the status of quarantined email messages across your customer tenants. You can see consolidated information for total quarantine volumes and detailed information for each managed tenant to help you prioritize any tenants that may require action.

We've added a new step to the default baseline to include guidance for enabling Security Policies for Exchange Online Protection (EOP) and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (MDO). EOP and MDO help protect users from spam, phishing, and malware emails by sending the emails to the user's quarantine or junk mail folder (coming soon). The deployment plan guides you in setting up EOP and MDO, further expanding your security stance during your next customer tenant deployment plan review.

In addition to integrating with Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse, you can now take the following management actions:

Moreover, Copilot insights help you pinpoint customers who may need Copilot setup guidance or training. Use the insights to ensure all Copilot users are enabled and set up for success.

To create security groups, you must be a Groups Administrator in the partner tenant. To change user membership in groups, you must be a User Administrator in the partner tenant. To create GDAP relationships, you must be an Admin agent in Partner Center.

Microsoft Defender Firewall is turned on by default on Windows 10 (and later) devices. If your customer tenant doesn't have this configured, follow these steps:

We've improved the tenant details page to provide a more comprehensive view of customer tenant details. We'll release these improvements in stages over the next few months. The improved tenant details page includes a redesigned Overview tab that has a Summary section showing high-level insights around baseline deployment progress and alerts, and an expanded Customer information section where you can record notes about the customer to facilitate collaboration with your colleagues. We also added an Action items tab where you can view summarized tasks for the tenant that require your attention. This new tab includes links to the relevant pages to perform the tasks, providing an easy way to view details and take action.

The Upcoming renewals page lists all customer subscriptions, sorted by subscription expiration date. You can sort and filter the list by expiration date, billing frequency, recurring billing status, number of licenses, and more. To make it easier to see all expiring subscriptions for each tenant, switch to the Group list by tenant view.

We've added insights from Endpoint analytics to Microsoft 365 Lighthouse to help you proactively take measures to improve the health of user devices and apps within managed tenants. The insights from Endpoint analytics inform a deployment sub-task called Enable Device Health Monitoring within the default baseline under the Set up device enrollment task. Once the new sub-task is enabled and the deployment task is deployed, select Apps > App performance in the left navigation pane in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse to see the Endpoint analytics insights. 

These insights prevent the assumption that tenants that aren't reported are healthy and secure when that data is actually unavailable to Lighthouse.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now includes the capability for MSPs to use granular delegated administrative privileges (GDAP) roles. With the latest update, MSPs can leverage GDAP by assigning roles to their technicians to enforce the principle of least privilege access in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. This capability reduces the risks inherent in the broad permissions of the delegated administrative privileges (DAP) role of the Admin Agent by enabling granular controls on the customers' data and settings that each technician will be able to work with.

Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management helps proactively identify and build a secure foundation for devices through the remediation of software vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in customer environments. Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now includes Vulnerability Management capabilities. Go to Devices > Vulnerability management to see the exposure score across all your managed tenants that have been onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. To see security recommendations for how to reduce tenants' exposure to vulnerabilities, select the Recommendations tab.

We've enhanced Microsoft 365 Lighthouse to provide persistent configuration detection and deployment status to monitor your tenants—even when you're offline—and identify any updates to a tenant configuration that results in a regression of the deployment status for any of the assigned tasks.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse also provides who, where, and when details about user activity that caused the detected drift so that you can efficiently and effectively restore the tenant to the desired state.

For more information on GDAP across all services, see Introduction to granular delegated admin privileges (GDAP) - Partner Center.

We've added a Microsoft Edge policy deployment task to the default baseline. This deployment task allows you to secure your customer tenant's browsers with Edge security settings, which include built-in protection against phishing and malware. Microsoft Edge has been proven to be more secure than Google Chromium for small- and medium-sized businesses with devices running Windows 10 or later.

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse now reports deployment progress by user so you can see the deployment status for every applicable deployment task. The ability to see which users are compliant with, not compliant with, not targeted for, not licensed for, or excluded from each deployment task across all your managed tenants can help you to more efficiently and effectively help each user be secure and productive.

You can now perform common actions like adding a new user, tagging your tenants, accessing other admin centers, and more from the Microsoft 365 Lighthouse Home page. The new command bar at the top of the Home page helps you find and perform these actions whenever you need them.

This step helps MSPs secure customer tenant devices through the default firewall configuration for Windows 10 (and later) devices.
