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

What this group does ๐Ÿงชโ€‹

Being in this group means one thing:

โ€œI'm trusted (or at least important enough) to sign into OneDrive using another tenant.โ€

Thatโ€™s right. While the default policy
โš™๏ธ๐ŸชŸ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผCP - OneDrive - Block other tenant signin says โ€œnope, stick to your own tenantโ€,
this group โ€” combined with the
โš™๏ธ๐ŸชŸ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ”“CP - OneDrive - Allow other tenant signin policy โ€” says:

๐Ÿงž โ€œOkay, fine. But only for you.โ€

๐Ÿ’ก SuperVision Tipโ€‹

This group is manually assigned โ€” but that doesnโ€™t mean it has to be a mess.

SuperVision supports user management across tenants, so you can assign this group consistently via:

  • dynamic views
  • rule-based grouping
  • and automation across environments

All while using a recognizable naming standard (๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ, ๐Ÿ‘ˆ, ๐Ÿ”“) for clear intent.

โœ๏ธ Still, make sure the customer signs off. Not just verbally โ€” we mean actual documentation.


๐ŸŽฏ Purposeโ€‹

Used as an exception mechanism for users in:

  • Mergers & acquisitions (๐Ÿ‘”๐Ÿ“ˆ)
  • Multi-tenant collaboration environments (๐ŸŒ)
  • Situations where โ€œjust block everythingโ€ doesn't quite work

This group is assigned to users who need access โ€” not just want access.


โš ๏ธ Governance mattersโ€‹

If you add someone to this group:

  • You should know why
  • The customer should know why
  • And you should have a signed piece of paper somewhere that proves it

If you canโ€™t explain whoโ€™s in this group during an audit... maybe donโ€™t add them in the first place.



๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ With great tenant access comes great compliance risk.
