  • Article

As a Viva Pulse administrator, you can use create or manage policies to define which users can access specific features in Viva Pulse. Feature access management enables you to configure which specific features of Viva Pulse are available to certain groups or users within your tenant. This helps to tailor Viva Pulse to meet your local regulatory and business requirements. See Control access to features in Viva to learn more.

Customization

You can control whether feedback authors can add their own questions to existing stock templates or edit existing stock questions through centralized feature access management, which allows you to configure access to customization capabilities at the tenant level, group level (using AZure Active Directory groups or Microsoft 365 groups), or at the user level for maximum flexibility. The customization control is default turned on for your tenant. Use the FeatureID value CustomizationControl to configure customization capability for your tenant.

Conversations in Pulse reports

Viva Pulse authors can respond to open text responses in their Pulse reports and have a de-identified conversation with the Pulse participant who provided that particular open text response. Using centralized feature access management, you can decide for this capability to be available at the tenant level, group level (using AZure Active Directory groups or Microsoft 365 groups), or at the user level for maximum flexibility. This capability is default turned on for your tenant. Use the FeatureID value PulseConversation to configure conversations in Pulse reports for your tenant.
