Office 365 Admin Center for Dynamics 365 Business Central Users

In Office 365, global admin users can manage user permissions as well as manage production and sandbox environments. Office 365 allows global admin users to make the Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365 BC) production and sandbox environments available to standard users if they’re unable to see and access D365 BC through the Office 365 portal.

Most customers and consultants still call it Office 365. To learn more about the name change, read our Office 365 Business article.
