Who can use Amplify from SharePoint?

Amplify from SharePoint follows the same rules and configurations that organizations have setup for sending emails, Teams channel posts, Engage posts, and SharePoint news. Amplify doesn't give a user any extra abilities to send to these locations or to audiences beyond what they could already do manually in each of these applications.

To use Amplify a user must be allowed to author or edit news in a SharePoint site and have the Amplify license assigned to them. Amplify from SharePoint is a super powered version of the existing Promote capability on SharePoint news, that allows all authors/editors to promote their news into other locations one by one. Amplify gives the extra capability to allow authors to promote to multiple channels all at once and get back the analytics from those channels.
