Problem Description: See All Data Glint

Hi, I'm reaching out because I'm experiencing access limitations in Glint. I have the following access levels assigned to me: Active Employees, People Operations (a subgroup we've created), and Company Admin. However, I'm unable to see data for our region in APAC; for me it says "Insufficient Data", but my manager who has the same access levels as me (besides Company Admin) is able to see the APAC data. Could you please guide me on what the issue my be? Thank you!

Quick Answer for Office Setup on New Device

If you can't see APAC data in Viva Glint despite having roles, check data segmentation—your manager may have access to segments you lack.

Likely Causes Behind Permission Root Factors

• The Microsoft account or license context may not match the purchase or device.

• Cached credentials, outdated builds, or damaged local components can trigger permission & access issues.

• A file-specific corruption or add-in conflict can mimic a broader application failure.

Recommended Solution: Fixing Permission Step by Step

When to use this: Apply these steps when the symptoms match and you can access the relevant Microsoft account or administrator.

1. Verify with your admin that you have access to the specific APAC data segment.

2. If respondent numbers are below the confidentiality threshold, you may see 'Insufficient Data'.

3. Review role configurations, as Company Admin may not include all permissions.

Alternative Solutions for Secondary Security Fixes

1. Retry the Microsoft-side steps after restarting the app and device.

2. Test the same action in a private browser session or a new blank file to isolate account vs file issues.

3. Capture exact error text and screenshots before contacting Microsoft Support or your administrator.

Working with WPS Office: WPS as a Local Alternative

WPS Office cannot replace Microsoft account, activation, or cloud fixes for this scenario. It remains one of the best free Microsoft Office-compatible alternatives for opening and editing local files.

1. Download and install WPS Office from the official website.

2. Open local Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files in the matching WPS app.

3. Save a working copy locally while Microsoft-side issues are resolved.

4. Return to Microsoft Office after the primary fix succeeds.

If you need a practical local workspace in the meantime, try WPS Office.

Prevention Tips for Keeping Office Stable Long Term

• Keep one primary Microsoft account for subscriptions and Office sign-in.

• Install updates for Office and Windows before retrying failed workflows.

• Back up important files before repair, reset, or reinstall actions.

• Review connected devices and sign-in activity regularly.

FAQs About Office Support Questions

Can WPS Office fix this permission & access issues issue directly? Only when the WPS steps match the formatting or file task. Account, activation, and cloud issues stay on the Microsoft side.

Should I reinstall Office before trying these steps? Not first. Confirm account, license, and the exact error before reinstalling.

What should I send to Microsoft Support? The affected account email, device type, Office version, exact error text, and screenshots with personal data hidden.
