[What and why]

We're enhancing Real-Time Alerting rule management in the Microsoft Teams admin center to help administrators manage alerting rules more efficiently and at greater scale.

With this update, administrators will be able to:

  • Duplicate existing rules to create similar alert configurations without manually recreating them.
  • Bulk upload users when creating or editing rules, reducing manual effort when monitoring larger groups of users.
  • Delete rules directly from the management experience to simplify rule maintenance and cleanup.

These enhancements are designed to streamline administration of Real-Time Alerting rules and improve operational efficiency.
