Microsoft Viva: Viva Engage - Move conversation feature toggle

🚨 The Signal: Viva Engage now allows admins to restrict who can move conversations between communities. By default, any user can move conversations, increasing the risk of miscategorised or exfiltrated information if not configured.

The Impact

All Viva Engage users and admins are affected, with a security risk of information misplacement or unauthorised data movement if default settings are not reviewed.

  • End users: May lose the ability to move conversations if restricted by admins.
  • Community admins: Gain control over conversation movement within their communities.
  • Security teams: Need to assess the risk of information sprawl and potential data exfiltration.
  • Compliance teams: Must ensure conversation movement aligns with data governance policies.

The Action

  1. Navigate to Viva Engage Admin Center.
  2. Locate the 'Move conversation' feature toggle.
  3. Disable the toggle to restrict conversation movement to only admins, corporate communicators, and community experts.
  4. Communicate the change in conversation movement policy to all Viva Engage users.
