At atwork, diversity and inclusion are in our daily life. Everyone should be treated equally and with respect. These are the foundations of our modern society. This year, Euro Pride takes place in our home town Vienna. We want to show our sympathy by adapting our atwork logo on the website and in our blog to the rainbow colors. We support pride and the LGBTIQ community with the motto “Join us. March with us. Together & Proud.” ...

The European Collaboration Summit (ECS), also known as #collabsummit, is the largest community-driven conference in the world with a focus on modern workplace technologies and digital transformation.

The next version of Delegate365 v8.3 is here. This major version brings some new features as “Sync with security group”, bulk assignments, list export, improved OU management, and many further features and fixes. See the details here. Upgrading from Delegate365 version 8.2 does not require running a new setup. Upgrading from any other Delegate365 version, requires to (Re)run the setup. New Sync Rule “Sync with security group”: This new feature in Administration / Sync rules allows to remove users from an OU automatically based on their security group membership. See how this works in detail at Sync with Group. We hope this new sync feature helps improving your users organization based on security group memberships in Delegate365. ...

At Microsoft Ignite conference last September, we demoed an approach for a self-built Office 365 Groups Governance Toolkit. Since Microsoft 365 is an evergreen service and continues to evolve, today we have more group settings available and we extend our provisioning function to work with group naming policies as well. See here how this can be accomplished by including new Graph requests. Foreword You can find the previous articles of our governance story at Provisioning an Office 365 group with an approval flow and Azure functions-part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5 and part 6 and the source code at martinagrom/Ignite2018GroupsGovernanceToolkit. ...

With Delegate365 v8.3 there comes a new feature in the Sync Rules: Sync with security group allows to automatically remove users from an OU. See how this works here. This is a feature request brought to us by Delegate365 customers: When a user is removed from a security group, he or she should also automatically be removed from the corresponding OU, if the User sync rules are set to “Security group”. So here´s a description of that feature with a sample (improved Delegate365 Admins can have a look at step1 and then continue with step 7)… ...

Delegate365 allows to modify licenses in many ways, manually, automatically and with bulk-assignments. With version 8.3, the license policies will be considered for bulk assignments as well. See a description of that functionality here. The Delegate365 permission and license policies control what modules and what licenses a scope administrator sees. An administrator can be assigned to one permission policy and to one license policy. While many organizations are using the Delegate365 sync rules, scope admins can manually assign entitled licenses and plans. The menu Licenses / Bulk assign licenses allows to accomplish such an operation for multiple users and takes the unauthorized licenses into account with this update. ...

To apply governance in an organization, the responsible persons require data. See here, how we can get group data of an Office 365 tenant for further use, for example for a visualization with Microsoft Power BI and all the benefits of such an attractive and interactive tool. Get all groups and their properties Again, we use the same mechanism as before, for getting orphaned groups and external users. For example, a function runs every day in the night and reads all existing groups in the Office 365 tenant. Every group is written to a queue for further processing, in the same way as the other functions did before. A second function is triggered by that queue and reads all the required group data for one group and writes the data into an Azure table. The following graphics shows that process from a technical standpoint. ...
