Customize people insights privacy in Microsoft Graph (preview)

  • Artikkel

People insights represent connections of people who are relevant to or working with one another within the same organization, based on public relationships between the people. These insights can be displayed in Delve and the profile card, and returned by the people API.

Customize people insights for an organization

By default, the display or return of people insights is enabled for an organization. Administrators with the global administrator role can customize this behavior for an organization using REST APIs and the appropriate permissions. They can customize by setting properties of the insightsSettings resource in the following ways:

Configure people insights via the Microsoft 365 admin center

An administrator with the global administrator role can enable or disable the people insights privacy setting via a toggle. To do so, in the Microsoft 365 admin center, expand Settings, select Search & intelligence, select Configurations, and under People insights, choose Change.

The Allow your organization to use People insights toggle allows you to enable or disable people insights for the whole tenant. Optionally, you can also disable it only for a group of users following the previous steps and searching for a specific group. Choose Save to save your settings.

Configure people insights via REST API

  • Disable people insights for all users in the organization, by setting the isEnabledInOrganization property of the insightsSettings resource to false. (By default, the isEnabledInOrganization property is true.)

  • Disable people insights for a subset of users, by assigning these users to a Microsoft Entra group, and setting the disabledForGroup property to the ID of that group. Find out more about creating a group and adding users as members.

Use the update operation to set the isEnabledInOrganization or disabledForGroup properties accordingly for people insights.

Keep the following in mind when updating item insights settings:

  • People insights settings are available only in the beta endpoint.
  • The update operation doesn't verify that a group exists. Make sure to get the correct ID of the Microsoft Entra group from the Microsoft Entra admin center, verify that the group exists, and that the intended users have been added to the group. If the group doesn't exist, no changes will be made for any user in the organization.
  • It can take up to 24 hours or longer for updates to insightsSettings to be reflected.

Behavior changes in the Microsoft 365 UI and people API

Disabling people insights means that the data is not generated for a specified user. It doesn't affect search and ranking of results.

When customizing privacy for people insights, you can observe behavioral changes in the following areas:
