O365 - Email/Outlook
2025-10-31 Status Description
10:03 AM Disruption EXCHANGE NOTICE
Some users added as members to a M365 group in Outlook on the web may be given "Owner" permissions by default
Service Degradation

Current status: the service provider is continuing to investigate the affected component that helps facilitate groups membership management that they suspect is resulting in newly added users being added as members to a M365 group to have their default permissions set to "Owner" instead of "Member". They expect that this investigation into the component will help them identify the cause of this issue and inform them in creating resolution steps.

Scope of impact: Some users added as members to a M365 group in Outlook on the web may be given "Owner" permissions by default instead of "Member" permissions.
09:00 AM Disruption EXCHANGE NOTICE
Some users may have been unable to change photos for Outlook groups
Service Restored

Final status: The service provider has determined that a recently enabled change caused a code regression, which resulted in impact. They've reverted the offending change to mitigate impact and can confirm after a period of monitoring that impact is remediated.

Scope of impact: Users attempting to change photos for Outlook groups may have been impacted.
