Day-to-day administration.

WHAT TO DO WHEN SOMEONE JOINS

Create the account, with a standard naming convention Assign licences appropriate to their role Add them to the groups their role requires Configure multi-factor authentication Provide their sign-in details securely

WHAT TO PREFER FOR ASSIGNMENT

Group-based licensing, where licences follow group membership.

WHY

It removes manual assignment, and it is consistent.

WHAT TO DO WHEN SOMEONE CHANGES ROLE

Adjust group membership to the new role, rather than adding to what they have.

WHY

Access accumulates otherwise, and nobody notices.

WHAT TO DO WHEN SOMEONE LEAVES

Block sign-in immediately Revoke active sessions Handle their mailbox and files per policy Remove the licence, once data is handled

WHY IN THAT ORDER

Removing the licence first can begin deleting data.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT MAILBOXES

A mailbox without a licence is retained for a limited period, then deleted.

WHAT TO USE FOR A DEPARTED PERSON'S ADDRESS

A shared mailbox, which requires no licence, or forwarding.

WHAT TO REVIEW MONTHLY

Accounts against current staff.
