Updated October 13, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.

What and why

To improve transparency and troubleshooting for Microsoft Purview role-based access control (RBAC), we are enhancing audit logging for permission checks performed in the Microsoft Purview portal. These new audit records will provide administrators with clearer visibility into role and scoped-role authorization decisions, helping them investigate access issues and better understand how access evaluations are performed.
