Monday, October 10, 2022 6:00 AM Toni Pohl
The Center of Excellence (CoE), also known as the Microsoft Power Platform CoE Starter Kit, is a toolkit to gain insights into the use of the Microsoft Power Platform in an Microsoft 365 organization. While the installation has recently become a bit technically easier, a corresponding Power Platform license is also required for operation. Well, not every company owns or acquires the required license. We show how these license requirements can be solved with Azure temporary - for special use cases - and what are the benefits and the disadvantages of the PAYG billing.

Identify guest users and their status with Graph

Wednesday, January 5, 2022 7:00 PM Martina Grom
Working with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory as an identity and management system becomes more and more important.

From a governance and lifecycle point of view - and also for security reasons - it is therefore important to clean up Azure AD from time to time. The cleanup process supports a healthy lifecycle management. In this article we describe how to quickly identify guest users in your own Azure AD with on-board resources.

To ensure the security of your Microsoft 365 client, we recommend implementing an appropriate governance and security strategy.
