How to join Frontier early access?
In the Introducing Researcher and Analyst in Microsoft 365 Copilot article, it states:
Researcher and Analyst will start rolling out to customers with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license in April as part of a new “Frontier” program that gives customers early access to new Copilot innovations while they’re still in development.
How can a company or individual enroll in the "Frontier" program?

The conditions for participation are as follows: M365E3 or E5 license and M365 Copilot license with 300 or more active users.
Basic security and compliance requirements must be in place.
Probably also worth mentioning to your Microsoft account team too so they can advocate behind the scenes.
Could you please clarify what "SharePoint Advanced Administrative Privileges " refers to - is this the SharePoint Administrator privileged role, or does it relate to SharePoint Advanced Management?
