Delegate365 is using the Microsoft 365 and Azure standards to sign-in and to communicate with the Microsoft APIs. Here´s the best practice how to secure your environment for using Delegate365. 1. Secure your Microsoft 365 tenant Microsoft 365 provides a bunch of features to harden a tenant and to raise the Secure Score. Every administrator should start improving the security with setting Conditional Access, MFA, and policies. You can learn more about Microsoft Secure Score here.

Delegate365 version 8.4 came up with a lot of improvements and updates. This version recently got another update to speed up the license assignment synchronization operation. See the details here. Delegate365 allows to add sync rules to the sync operation to automate specific operations. In large tenants, the sync can run for a long time since all objects must be queried for changes. To accelerate the sync operation when using license assignment sync rules, we optimized this process as follows: ...

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. ...

Office 365 Groups bring a lot of advantages to a connected workspace within Office 365. For me they are like the glue between all different Office 365 Services.

So it is really important for anyone who is working in the Microsoft 365 space to understand how Office 365 Groups work and what impact they have. Together with Microsoft Graph and Azure Active Directory those are the fundamentals of Office 365 to understand. ...
