Microsoft Introduces User Site Permissions Report in SharePoint Admin Center

A useful update from Microsoft. A new report has been released in the SharePoint admin center called “Site permissions for users.” It allows admins to see every SharePoint and OneDrive site a user can access, along with the reason for that access, including:

• Direct permissions

• Group membership

• Full site access versus specific file or folder access

Why this matters:

• Quickly identify users with excessive permissions

• Validate access during offboarding or role changes

• Establish a strong foundation for Copilot readiness and improved data security

The report provides a point-in-time snapshot, is exportable, and can be found under Data Access Governance in the SharePoint admin center. A small feature with a meaningful impact on governance.
