For administrators, it is vital to know which users are utilizing a Copilot license and the specific services they are engaging with. This information helps in managing licenses effectively, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently. The Microsoft 365 Security Audit Logs offer a detailed view of user activities, including interactions with Copilot, even when the organizations anonymization settings are enabled. Heres how this works.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2024/no-setting-of-sensitivity-labels-with-an-app/Thu, 15 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2024/no-setting-of-sensitivity-labels-with-an-app/Sensitivity labels in Microsoft 365 are a crucial feature for organizations to protect and manage their data. These labels allow organizations to classify and safeguard sensitive information based on its level of confidentiality. By applying sensitivity labels, organizations can control access, encrypt data, apply policies, and track and monitor on sensitive information. Users can apply sensitivity labels to classify and protect their data. However, applications unfortunately cannot currently assign sensitivity labels.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2024/retrieve-user-pim-role-assignments/Sat, 03 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2024/retrieve-user-pim-role-assignments/Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management PIM allows administrators to manage role assignments efficiently, ensuring that users have the necessary permissions only when needed. By following a few simple steps, administrators can make users eligible for specific roles, activate roles as required, and manage both built-in and custom roles. This process enhances security by minimizing the duration and scope of privileged access, making it a crucial tool for maintaining a secure and compliant environment. In this article, we explore how to read a users Microsoft Entra roles and history using PIM and the Microsoft Graph REST API.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2024/enhance-your-copilot-with-graph-connector-relevance-tuning/Wed, 05 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2024/enhance-your-copilot-with-graph-connector-relevance-tuning/Utilizing Graph connectors simplifies the process of incorporating your data into Microsoft 365 search and Microsoft 365 Copilot, enhancing your experience with seamless integration.

Like Active Directory, Azure AD grows throughout time with guest accounts, cloud accounts and synchronized accounts. 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.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2021/microsoft365-relevance-score/Fri, 17 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2021/microsoft365-relevance-score/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.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2021/microsoft-365-community-events/Tue, 05 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2021/microsoft-365-community-events/Ready to learn more about Microsoft 365 technology such as Microsoft Graph, SharePoint, Office-AddIns and more?

In this part we will setup a workflow for the Office 365 and Microsoft Teams provisioning. Workflows help to follow specific processes for a successful collaboration. Offering self-services for users is a key to reduce workloads on the IT department and to allow users to cover their requirements quickly while the organizations policies are enforced during the process. A frequently asked request is how to provision a new Microsoft Team in Office 365 in a secure and monitored way. See how this can be implemented here. To allow an app to create a Microsoft group or team programmatically in a workflow, we will use the Microsoft Graph API, Azure Functions and Flow or Logic Apps. With these technologies, we can create powerful workflows to offer a self-service for users to create a team when needed, approved by the manager and being provisioned with all the necessary properties and permissions.https://blog.atwork.at/post/2019/office-365-groups-governance-toolkit-part-1-overview/Tue, 08 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.atwork.at/post/2019/office-365-groups-governance-toolkit-part-1-overview/IT-Governance is an important topic, especially in large organizations. At Microsoft Ignite conference, we showed the Groups Governance Toolkit with a bunch of useful tools to regulate and monitor Office 365 groups and Microsoft Teams. Here, we will show the step-by-step guidance how to implement that toolkit with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure.

Amongst many other features, you can work with OneDrive and SharePoint files with the Graph REST API. Additionally, you can directly work with Excel files through the Graph Excel API. Since all samples I found just use the personal OneDrive for Business OFB file storage, I wanted to document how to access files that are stored in a SharePoint Online site SPO as well. So, here we go!
