Automating OneDrive User Permissions Management with PowerShell
Managing user permissions in OneDrive is essential for ensuring data security and proper access control. This PowerShell script helps administrators automate the process of retrieving and updating file permissions in OneDrive, making it easier to manage who has access to critical documents and folders.
This script will:
1. Connect to OneDrive using Microsoft Graph.
2. Retrieve a list of files and their current permissions.
3. Allow for updating permissions for specific users or groups.
By using this script, IT administrators can efficiently oversee permissions across OneDrive, enhancing compliance and security measures.
