Dear Valued Customer,

We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to inform you about an important update regarding SharePoint Online (SPO) Tenants for FAM, which may impact its usage and workflows (e. g. Activity Monitoring).

Microsoft recently introduced a new restriction affecting FAM’s ability to monitor SharePoint Online tenants. This change requires users to enable the audit recording feature for both user and admin activities. You can find detailed information about this update (and how to enable it) in the following article:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/audit-log-enable-disable?view=o365-worldwide

As per Microsoft's guidelines, it may take approximately one hour for the changes to take effect once the audit recording feature is enabled. However, some users have reported seeing activities from SPO shortly after restarting the FAM’s Activity Monitor.

If you encounter any issues or require assistance during this transition, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team to ensure a smooth experience for you.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate through these updates together.
