Set up the Call Quality Dashboard

Open the Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard (CQD) at https://cqd.teams.microsoft.com (sign in with your admin credentials). Or go to the Teams admin center and select Analytics & reports > Call Quality Dashboard.

On the page that opens, select Sign in and enter the credentials for an administrator account that has "Activate CQD" privileges. This must be done only the first time your tenant accesses CQD in order to allow users holding less privileged admin roles to log in. CQD shows call and meeting quality at an org-wide level for Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business Server 2019.

Important

To use CQD with Skype for Business Server 2019, you'll have to Configure Call Data Connector. See Plan Call Data Connector before you start.

Assign admin roles for access to CQD

Assign roles for accessing CQD to the people who need to use it.

If you want non-admin users (such as support engineers and helpdesk agents) to use Call Quality Dashboard, you can assign those users one of the following roles, which gives access to CQD.

Due to the fact that CQD is an aggregate reporting tool, users assigned to one or more Administrative Units don't see end-user identifying information (EUII) even if their role would ordinarily allow it.

Important

Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. This helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role. To learn more, see About Admin roles in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

1 In addition to reading CQD reports, the Reports Reader can view all the activity reports in the admin center and any reports from the Microsoft 365 Adoption content pack.

Note

If you're not seeing EUII (end-user identifiable information) and you have one of the roles that's permitted to see this information, keep in mind that CQD only keeps EUII for 28 days. Anything older than 28 days is deleted. Additionally, users assigned to one or more Administrative Units don't see EUII even if their role would ordinarily allow it.

For more information about these roles, see About Office 365 admin roles.

After the first time you sign in with a role that can activate CQD, CQD will become accessible to admins with the lesser privileged roles as shown in the table.
