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. ...

The quick way to work with SharePoint Lists and permissions

The quick way to work with SharePoint Lists and permissions

SharePoint (or Microsoft) lists provide a good storage for not too extensive structured data. Sometimes administrators want to restrict access to certain items or lines. This approach shows how you, as an administrator, can do this without using item permissions, but with simpler and easier-to-manage views and permissions. The goal Administrators often want users to see only certain records or only their own records from a larger list. Technically, it is possible to set permissions for specific users per item (see below). On the other hand, setting item permissions is not a good solution in every use case. If a SharePoint list is filled by a given user or by a task, and specific people shall see only their data in a list, depending on their department, or similar organizational information, setting item permissions can be elaborate in terms of effort. ...

Ways to work with Power BI licenses

Ways to work with Power BI licenses

I recently wanted to share a Microsoft Power BI report with other users who only have the “Power BI (Free)” license. Well, with a “Power BI Pro” license, a report can be shared with other users. But I noticed that there are stumbling blocks when it comes to licensing. Here are my findings. First of all, I’m not a licensing expert (and don’t want to be one). However, I would like to ensure that as many users as possible can consume Power BI reports. With this goal in mind, I would like to share my experiences here. ...

Trust the box? Working with the Relevance Score in Microsoft 365

Trust the box? Working with the Relevance Score in Microsoft 365

In the Microsoft 365 platform, productivity and recommendations are created to inform users about their relevant data. For example, Microsoft Delve is an app showing such information to a user. Another service is Microsoft Viva Insights (formerly MyAnalytics) that sends out statistics according to the motto “Work smarter with personal productivity insights in Microsoft 365”. While this can be very useful for users to quickly find and discover relevant data, works councils are often sensitive to personal data in a company. So how can we explain what is happening here and invalidate what data is visible to individual users and what data is visible to other users? Well, here is some information about the Microsoft 365 “works with” features. ...

Reports can be scheduled and downloaded in the Reports menu. When the report generation is completed, they show up in the list, as here. When the report is open and “no data available” is displayed (although you see users and groups in the Delegate365 pages)… ...
