๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿ”“Group - Personal OneDrive Allowed users

What this group is forโ€‹

This is a static assigned group created to override the company-wide block on personal OneDrive accounts.

Itโ€™s used in combination with:

If you are a member of this group:

โœ… You can sign in with your personal Microsoft account in OneDrive
โœ… The block policy no longer applies to you
โŒ But this is not a free pass โ€” itโ€™s an exception, not a rule

๐Ÿ“„ Membership Governanceโ€‹

This group is not dynamic. That means:

  • Users are added manually or via identity tooling like SuperVision
  • Every member must be reviewed and approved
  • A signed customer document should exist specifying who is allowed and why

If someoneโ€™s in this group โ€œjust becauseโ€ โ€” they shouldnโ€™t be.


๐Ÿง  Final Noteโ€‹

This group bypasses a security control โ€” and with that comes risk.

๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ โ€œWith great power comes great responsibility.โ€ โ€“ Some guyโ€™s uncle

So:

  • Use it intentionally
  • Track it precisely
  • Clean it up regularly

Because nothing says "data leak" like a forgotten exec syncing their personal OneDrive folder full of cat memes and HR reports.
