Secure Management of Microsoft Office 365 – Delegate Access and IT Tasks with Access Permissions
With remote work having sharply risen in modern organizations today, most IT departments are overwhelmed and resort to delegate tasks. Microsoft 365’s solution to this is assigning admin roles and target scopes called Admin Units, but the role permissions given can be too broad to be secure or too limited to be effective.
sapio365’s functionalities offer solutions to this limitation gap, with granular roles managed by a centrally controlled role-based access control (RBAC).
Securely delegate IT tasks on Microsoft Office 365 using granular roles
For example, sapio365 offers a service that lets you create a specific reporting role to an assigned user. This role might allow view-only permissions for messages and attachments, but only for users in the sales department, in Canada and the UK, except for users with a Director title. So, you can customize roles with actions and target sets that are exactly as wide or as narrow as you need.
And since sapio365 RBAC and Automation Jobs Library (AJL) tasks work together, you can assign any task, great or small, to non-technical staff including business stakeholders—giving them instant access and permission to important information and freeing up your IT resources.
