🚀 Are your SharePoint permissions a complete mess? Most organizations lack a single, accurate report showing who has access to what, leaving massive security gaps that manual reviews simply cannot fix. In this video, you will learn the exact steps to scan every site, library, and user automatically to regain total control of your environment.
In this session, we dive deep into why traditional, manual permission reviews fail at enterprise scale and how nested groups often hide unauthorized access. You will discover how to use PnP PowerShell as a bridge to connect to every site in your tenant securely using app-only authentication and certificates. We also explore the power of the Microsoft Graph API to unpick complex permission structures, including inherited access and Azure AD group memberships that standard reports often miss.
Finally, we walk through setting up Azure Automation to schedule these audits, ensuring you have up-to-date reports delivered straight to your inbox without ever lifting a finger. By shifting from reactive firefighting to proactive automation, you can ensure your compliance logs are always audit-ready and your sensitive data remains protected. This approach transforms a weeks-long manual task into a seamless, daily background process that provides true peace of mind for SharePoint administrators.
