What this group is for​

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

It’s used in combination with:

If you are a member of this group:

βœ… You can sign in with your personal Microsoft account in OneDrive
βœ… The block policy no longer applies to you
❌ But this is not a free pass β€” it’s an exception, not a rule

πŸ“„ Membership Governance​

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 someone’s in this group β€œjust because” β€” they shouldn’t be.


🧠 Final Note​

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

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.
