How to control Microsoft 365 permissions—before they control you
With Liam Cleary, CEO at SharePlicity, Microsoft Certified Trainer & MVP Alumni
Between employees, IT admins, and external collaborators, Microsoft 365 access can get…messy. One minute you’re enabling seamless teamwork and the next thing you know, your organization’s sensitive data is overexposed and nobody’s sure who has access to what.
It’s not just about setting the right controls. It’s also about building trust, enforcing accountability, and creating the right checks and balances so things don’t spiral. Because when governance isn’t clear and properly enforced, productivity suffers and so does your security posture.
In this session, Microsoft Certified Trainer and SharePlicity CEO Liam Cleary shares real-world tactics to take back control of your Microsoft 365 environment.
On the agenda:
- How to establish a clear framework for determining who has access and why
- How to balance security and productivity when setting permissions
- What tools lean on—like Conditional Access and PIM—to mitigate risk
- Best practices for improving visibility and accountability with regular oversight
- What to watch out for to avoid permission pitfalls like privilege creep and data sprawl down the line
