MC1330892 - Plan for Change: Configure Microsoft 365 Apps policy settings in the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center

Message Center

Summary

Starting with Intune's June 2026 release, Microsoft 365 Apps policy settings will only be configurable in the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center, not in the Intune admin center. Existing policies and functionality remain unchanged; admins should update guidance accordingly.

Updated June 17, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. 

Expected with Intune's June (2606) service release, we are making an update to the Microsoft Intune admin center to streamline where admins configure Microsoft 365 Apps policy settings. Currently, the same policy configuration experience is available in both the Microsoft Intune admin center (Apps > Policies for Microsoft 365 apps) and the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center (Customization > Policy management). To provide a more consistent and centralized management experience, we will remove the ability to configure these policies in the Intune admin center. Instead, the page will be updated to provide a direct link to the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center where this functionality will continue to be available.

How this will affect your organization:

If you are accustomed to creating or editing Microsoft 365 Apps policies directly within the Intune admin center, you will need to use the Microsoft 365 Apps admin center to perform these tasks.

Important: There is no change to configured policies, functionality, or the configuration experience, the user interface is identical to the existing experience in the Intune admin center. There is no change to the required roles or permissions needed to create or manage policies. Additionally, this change does not affect Microsoft 365 apps policies created through Intune settings catalog.

What you need to do to prepare:

Update your IT admin guidance and documentation as needed. No additional action is required to retain existing policy functionality.
