How to manage OneDrive access
You can manage Microsoft OneDrive access by setting permission levels to determine who can view or edit specific files and folders. Many businesses use OneDrive, an accessible cloud storage platform that lets businesses distribute and store files remotely.
When you have the power to determine which users can view or edit certain categories of files and folders, you can work to ensure no files are over-accessible—sensitive company documents are only available to the trusted employees who need to use them.
One of the best ways you can help establish a higher level of OneDrive permission control in your enterprise is to use a third-party access right management tool like SolarWinds ARM. ARM is designed to help you more easily manage access to OneDrive, SharePoint, SAP, file servers, NTFS, and Active Directory.
Why is OneDrive file sharing permissions control important?
When you control your files and folders sharing permissions, you can help minimize your risk of privileged attack by ensuring only trusted users can access or edit sensitive information. OneDrive for Business permissions control can allow you to remain precise and intentional in determining exactly which users can access specific files.
Providing edit capabilities means your user can adjust the original document within OneDrive, whereas a view-only link allows users to simply read and copy your file or share the view-only link with others.
Monitoring OneDrive access with strong OneDrive management tools can allow you to more easily keep a check on user access to files and folders and control modifications of shared resources.
With OneDrive management software, you can achieve increased visibility into your OneDrive file sharing history using data from your OneDrive Group Policy folder. You can manage multiple permissions controls, which can help eliminate significant downtime for larger businesses with many users. You can also document your OneDrive file access and permissions history in auto-generated reports, which can be crucial for demonstrating compliance with industry security audits.
