### Plan for change: Deprecation of the Power BI content packs
36
+
37
+
**Type:** Plan for change
38
+
**Service category:** Reporting
39
+
**Product capability:** Monitoring & Reporting
40
+
41
+
Starting on October 1, 2019, Power BI will begin to deprecate all content packs, including the Azure AD Power BI content pack. As an alternative to this content pack, you can use Azure AD Workbooks to gain insights into your Azure AD-related services. Additional workbooks are coming, including workbooks about Conditional Access policies in report-only mode, app consent-based insights, and more.
42
+
43
+
For more information about the workbooks, see [How to use Azure Monitor workbooks for Azure Active Directory reports](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/howto-use-azure-monitor-workbooks). For more information about the deprecation of the content packs, see the [Announcing Power BI template apps general availability](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/blog/announcing-power-bi-template-apps-general-availability/) blog post.

### My Profile is renaming and integrating with the Microsoft Office account page

49
+
**Type:** Plan for change
50
+
**Service category:** My Profile/Account
51
+
**Product capability:** Collaboration

+

+
Starting in October, the My Profile experience will become My Account. As part of that change, everywhere that currently says, **My Profile** will change to **My Account**. On top of the naming change and some design improvements, the updated experience will offer additional integration with the Microsoft Office account page. Specifically, you'll be able to access Office installations and subscriptions from the **Overview Account** page, along with Office-related contact preferences from the **Privacy** page.
54
+
55
+
For more information about the My Profile (preview) experience, see [My Profile (preview) portal overview](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/user-help/myprofile-portal-overview).

### New Azure AD Global Reader role
104
+
105
+
**Type:** New feature
106
+
**Service category:** RBAC
107
+
**Product capability:** Access Control
108
+
109
+
Starting on September 24, 2019, we're going to start rolling out a new Azure Active Directory (AD) role called Global Reader. This rollout will start with production and Global cloud customers (GCC), finishing up worldwide in October.
110
+
111
+
The Global Reader role is the read-only counterpart to Global Administrator. Users in this role can read settings and administrative information across Microsoft 365 services, but can't take management actions. We've created the Global Reader role to help reduce the number of Global Administrators in your organization. Because Global Administrator accounts are powerful and vulnerable to attack, we recommend that you have fewer than five Global Administrators. We recommend using the Global Reader role for planning, audits, or investigations. We also recommend using the Global Reader role in combination with other limited administrator roles, like Exchange Administrator, to help get work done without requiring the Global Administrator role.
112
+
113
+
The Global Reader role works with the new Microsoft 365 Admin Center, Exchange Admin Center, Teams Admin Center, Security Center, Compliance Center, Azure AD Admin Center, and the Device Management Admin Center.
114
+
115
+
>[!NOTE]
116
+
> At the start of public preview, the Global Reader role won't work with: SharePoint, Privileged Access Management, Customer Lockbox, sensitivity labels, Teams Lifecycle, Teams Reporting & Call Analytics, Teams IP Phone Device Management, and Teams App Catalog.
117
+
118
+
For more information, see [Administrator role permissions in Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-assign-admin-roles).

### Access an on-premises Report Server from your Power BI Mobile app using Azure Active Directory Application Proxy
123
+
124
+
**Type:** New feature
125
+
**Service category:** App Proxy
126
+
**Product capability:** Access Control
127
+
128
+
New integration between the Power BI mobile app and Azure AD Application Proxy allows you to securely sign in to the Power BI mobile app and view any of your organization's reports hosted on the on-premises Power BI Report Server.
129
+
130
+

For more information about how to set up the Power BI mobile app with Azure AD Application Proxy, see [Enable remote access to Power BI Mobile with Azure AD Application Proxy](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-integrate-with-power-bi).

### Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server, version 8.0.2 is now available
If you're an existing customer, who activated MFA Server prior to July 1, 2019, you can now download the latest version of MFA Server (version 8.0.2). In this new version, we:
168
+
169
+
- Fixed an issue so when Azure AD sync changes a user from Disabled to Enabled, an email is sent to the user.
170
+
171
+
- Fixed an issue so customers can successfully upgrade, while continuing to use the Tags functionality.
172
+
173
+
- Added the Kosovo (+383) country code.
174
+
175
+
- Added one-time bypass audit logging to the MultiFactorAuthSvc.log.
176
+
177
+
- Improved performance for the Web Service SDK.
178
+
179
+
- Fixed other minor bugs.
180
+
181
+
Starting July 1, 2019, Microsoft stopped offering MFA Server for new deployments. New customers who require multi-factor authentication should use cloud-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. For more information, see [Planning a cloud-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication deployment](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-getstarted).
