Automating External User Onboarding and B2B Collaboration

?? Did you know that Microsoft Entra ID P2’s Entitlement Management can make managing external collaboration so much easier?

With it, you can:

?? Automate onboarding for external users, saving time and cutting down on manual work.

?? Define and enforce governance policies that provide secure, compliant access for external users.

?? Enable secure collaboration in SharePoint while keeping your environment protected.

?? Use security groups and folder structures to keep access well-organized and controlled.

The approval process is key to making this work seamlessly. For example, you can implement a two-stage workflow where external sponsors validate requests before they go to internal stakeholders for final approval. This will keep everything secure while avoiding delays for internal teams.

Quick tip: Tailor your approval workflows to match project needs. Single-stage approvals are great for smaller teams, while multi-stage workflows are perfect for high-value or sensitive projects.

Pro tip: Think about scheduling Access Reviews based on how sensitive the resource is or the length of the project. High-value resources might need monthly reviews, while less critical ones could get by with quarterly checks.

This isn’t just for SharePoint - it works for Teams, Power BI, and more!
