365 Permission Manager

Visibility into who can access Microsoft 365 resources.

"Used when organisations need clear visibility of Microsoft 365 access for reviews and compliance."

Audit and report Microsoft 365 permissions

Permissions across Microsoft 365 can be fragmented and opaque, making access reviews and audit evidence difficult to assemble. Limited visibility into user, group and resource access increases the risk of unauthorised exposure and complicates compliance activities.

365 Permission Manager discovers and audits permissions and access settings across Microsoft 365 services and generates reports of user, group and resource access. It provides the visibility teams need to carry out access reviews, produce audit evidence and prioritise remediation work.

Where 365 Permission Manager is used

Support periodic access reviews by producing clear reports of who has access to SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and other Microsoft 365 resources. Use generated reports as evidence during internal or regulatory audits.

Provide MSPs and distributed IT teams with tenant-wide permission visibility to manage multiple tenants and hybrid identity estates, and to investigate excessive or unexpected access across users, groups and resources.
