Then, you need to select one or more of the available roles, grouped by sections such as Global admin, Users and groups, Billing, Common specialist roles or Additional roles. In order to assign a role, you first need to “untick” this checkbox, at which point all other UI elements will light up. If the user you’ve selected has no role assigned, the “ User (no administrator access)” checkbox will be ticked and the rest of the UI will be grayed out/disabled. The new UI looks snappier and features more interactive elements compared to the old one, such as the help tooltips with role descriptions. One recent change I would like to focus on is the overhauled Manage roles UI, which you can access by selecting the user and pressing the corresponding button on top, or by opening the user’s details pane and clicking Manage roles, as shown below:

On the other hand, the majority of pages still has the look from the old portal and the contrast between say the Active users and Deleted users page is a bit irritating. Over the past few months, new functionalities have been incorporated into the portal, such as the global Search box, the Export button on the Active users page, overhaul of the Billing and Subscriptions pages, new cards and more.

In its initial release only a handful of pages featured the new design, as covered in my first look article, but the team has been slowly building on it and has kindly provided us with a page where we can monitor the progress. The new Microsoft/Office 365 Admin Center was announced back at Ignite and has been available as public preview since October last year.
