• Insights Analysts: Default access to all Copilot usage and cost data.
• Managers: Default scoped access to Copilot usage and cost data for their direct reports.
• Organisations: Enhanced visibility into AI service consumption for budget and resource management.

The Action

1. Review existing role assignments for Global Administrators and Insights Analysts to ensure appropriate personnel have access to Copilot cost data.
2. Communicate to managers with direct reports about their new default access to Copilot usage and cost insights.
3. Establish internal policies for reviewing and acting on Copilot usage and cost insights to optimise AI service consumption.
