Frequently asked questions

Permission Manager connects to your Microsoft 365 tenant via the Microsoft Graph API and enumerates permission assignments at the site collection, library, folder, and item levels. It builds a complete access map showing which users, groups, and guest accounts can access which content, including permissions inherited through group membership.

Permission Manager flags users with site collection administrator rights who do not need them, external guests with access to sensitive libraries, groups with broad Full Control assignments, and SharePoint apps with delegated permissions exceeding their documented function. Each finding includes the specific permission and the recommended least-privilege remediation.

The module inventories all active sharing links — company-wide sharing links, external sharing links, and anonymous access links — across your SharePoint estate. Links that expose sensitive content to external parties or anonymous users are flagged for review, with options to initiate revocation through the platform.

GDPR Article 5(1)(c) requires that personal data is processed only by parties with a legitimate need. Permission Manager's periodic access review workflow and over-privilege detection directly support the principle of least privilege for data access — providing documented evidence that access to personal data is controlled and reviewed.
