Microsoft 365 Reports in the admin center
Reports provide information about your organization’s usage data. By default, reports display information with identifiable names for users, groups, and sites. Starting September 1, 2021, Microsoft is hiding user information by default for all reports as part of our ongoing commitment to help companies support their local privacy laws.
If you want to unhide user-level information when you’re generating your reports, a global administrator can quickly make that change in the admin center.
Show user details in the reports
Global administrators can revert this change for their tenant and show identifiable user information if their organization’s privacy practices allow it. It can be achieved in the Microsoft 365 admin center by following these steps:
1. In the admin center, go to the Settings > Org Settings > Services page.
2. Select Reports.
3. Uncheck the statement Display concealed user, group, and site names in all reports, and then save your changes.
What happens to usage data when a user account is deleted?
Whenever you delete a user’s account, Microsoft will delete that user’s usage data within 30 days. Deleted users will still be included in the Activity chart totals for the periods they were active in, but will not appear in the User Details table.
