Manage Microsoft feedback for your organization
As the admin of a Microsoft 365 organization, there are now several policies to help you manage the feedback collection and the customer engagement experience of your users when using Microsoft 365 applications. You can create and use existing Azure Active directory groups in your organization for each of these policies. With these polices, you can control how different departments in your organization can send feedback to Microsoft. Microsoft reviews all feedback submitted by customers and uses this feedback to improve the product. Keeping the feedback experiences turned On allows you to see what your users are saying about the Microsoft products they're using. The feedback we collect from your users is available in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
To learn more about the types of feedback and how Microsoft uses user feedback, see Learn about Microsoft feedback for your organization.

Note
The Allow users to access the feedback portal policy is a cloud policy. This policy is not defined in ADMX and does not have a corresponding registry key available to set the policy. You should create a cloud policy to enforce it. This is a cloud policy because the feedback portal is a web application that makes a call to the cloud policy service, which is also a web application, requesting the policies for the person who signs in. If this policy is configured, the feedback portal will receive the configured policy value in the response from the cloud policy service.
Configure policies
To configure these policy settings, you can use the Office cloud policy service. For more information, see Overview of the Office cloud policy service. You can search for "feedback" or "survey" within the Office cloud policy service UI to find the policy settings to configure them.
These policy settings are also available if you use Group Policy. To use these policy settings, download at least version 5146.1000 of the Administrative Template files (ADMX/ADML), released on March 22, 2021.
You can find these policy settings under User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2016\Privacy\Trust Center.
