Title: Users may be seeing unexpected users when changing accounts in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
User impact: Users may have seen unexpected users when changing accounts in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.
More info: While we work to improve the long-term stability of our code change, users won't be able to use the "change account" feature.
Affected users were unable to modify or access these unexpected users in any way.
Final status: We've determined that our best option to ensure a comprehensive resolution is to temporarily disable the "change account feature" while we prepare a code change to ensure that this feature is only available for the expected scenarios. After we finalize our code improvements, we'll re-enable this feature.
Scope of impact: Users attempting to change account in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat may have seen unexpected users.
