• N/A

⌛ IN DEVELOPMENT

Rollout starts – August 2024

Rollout starts – September 2024

• 🆕 SharePoint: Using Data Access Governance to understand the tenant’s current permission landscape – SharePoint admins can now use Data Access Governance (DAG) to understand their tenant’s current permission landscape and make better decisions regarding applications based on permissions such as Copilot. DAG now provides a report that will reflect the latest state of permissions in the entire tenant and return sites that have a greater count of permissioned users than the SharePoint admin specified number. This count considers users accessing sites via site membership and users accessing via unique permissions, as well and acts like a potential threshold for oversharing. Along with the permissioned user count, the report also provides information on the number of existing sharing links (Anyone and People-in-your-org) in those sites and enables SharePoint admins to identify potential root causes for oversharing.

• 🆕 SharePoint: Site Access Review offers a way for SharePoint tenants to empower site owners using Data Access Governance – SharePoint admins can use Data Access Governance reports to discover potential oversharing within their tenant. Once discovered, SharePoint admins can now request that site owners review permissions using the specific context of that report from within the report. They can also track all such requests raised from a central location. The site owners will receive a corresponding email and are redirected to a section within the site (site reviews) that clearly enunciates the corresponding data related to sharing and permissions along with the ability to take action. This feature is now available for Data Access Governance – Permissions based reports – count of permissioned user report.
