Scoped SharePoint search in Teams (SharePoint app, also called Viva Connections)

🚨 The Signal: SharePoint search within the Teams SharePoint app (Viva Connections) will now scope results to SharePoint content. This improves content discovery but relies on existing SharePoint permissions for security trimming.

The Impact

Users searching within the Teams SharePoint app are affected; the security risk remains low as existing SharePoint permissions are respected.

• End-users: Improved content discovery within SharePoint via Teams.
• Security Team: No new security risks as existing SharePoint permissions are enforced.
• Admins: No configuration changes required, maintaining current security posture.
