Entra will block new Partner Tier support-role assignments on 3 August 2026

The most consequential update is a planned retirement change for the Partner Tier1 and Partner Tier2 Support roles: Microsoft Entra will stop accepting new assignments from 3 August 2026, while existing assignments remain valid. The period also adds a new provisioning guide for Visa Spend Clarity for Enterprise. A separate update to the User Type Workload Limitations Include documentation does not provide evidence of a behavior or policy change.
