Assigning permissions for non-IT users to the Security & Compliance admin center

Sometimes, you'll want additional eyes on the Security & Compliance admin center, but they won't usually belong to a global admin. In this recipe, we'll set a non-IT user's role to Security Reader so that they can access, but not administer, the Office 365 Security & Compliance admin center.

Getting ready

You should be a global administrator to complete this recipe (and whenever assigning admin roles).

How to do it…
