Introducing Orchestry Enterprise for M365: OneDrive, RBAC, and more

Written by Liz Stanton | Feb 16, 2026 10:05:00 PM

Most teams already see the risk signals in Microsoft 365: anonymous links that should be internal, abandoned personal drives when staff leave, and licenses assigned to accounts that haven’t signed in for months. Reporting can surface where the problems are. The hard part is translating those findings into an actionable framework of policies, reviews, and automations that solve the immediate issues and keep them from creeping back in.

Orchestry Enterprise is our answer to that gap. It combines the reporting you use today with controls that fit many Microsoft 365 needs in more complex organizations: OneDrive reporting and review automation to keep personal sharing and storage in check, licensing analysis that surfaces and quantifies optimization opportunities, and functional admin roles aligned to specific areas of the product instead of broad global access.

The outcome is straightforward: fewer risky links and oversized personal drives, clearer license optimization opportunities, and a record of reviews and admin role changes you can use in audits.

We’ve organized our plans around this reality. Starter focuses on visibility and readiness. Professional supports day-to-day governance for Teams and SharePoint.

Enterprise goes even further, allowing larger or more complex environments to apply the same level of control to OneDrive, licensing, and administrator access, then demonstrate that governance through the same reports and insights your teams already rely on, without managing a maze of extra modules and add-ons.

Why we built the Enterprise plan

As customers moved past initial visibility in Microsoft 365, three patterns kept coming up in reviews and trials.

  • OneDrive needed the same standard of governance already in place for Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. Organizations were dealing with abandoned drives after offboarding, lingering “anyone with the link” access on personal work files, and storage growth without a clear review cycle.
  • Licensing conversations kept exposing the same issues: multiple overlapping licenses assigned to the same users, and paid licenses still attached to accounts that were no longer in use.
  • Administrator access was often applied more broadly than the work required, which made least-privilege hard to practice even when policies were written down.

We built Enterprise to group these needs into a single plan so teams can act on them together. Bundling OneDrive governance, Licensing Optimization, and role-based access controls keeps the work in one place

The Enterprise plan lets us support the growing shift toward AI readiness and enablement in Microsoft 365. As organizations plan for Copilot and agent workloads, they’re under pressure to tighten content quality, security posture, and lifecycle hygiene. These are the same areas Microsoft is prioritizing in its own AI investments. Gaps in security, redundant or orphaned content, and unchecked sprawl do more than raise risk; they also limit how effective AI can be. By extending governance into OneDrive, licensing optimization, and administrative access in a single plan, Enterprise helps customers put those foundations in place so Copilot and future AI capabilities sit on a cleaner, safer tenant.

It also protects Professional from unnecessary tools, so mid-market customers keep a straightforward setup for day-to-day governance within the core collaboration spaces while larger or more complex environments have a clear path when they outgrow it.

What’s inside the Enterprise plan

OneDrive governance

Enterprise brings the same standard of governance you expect in Teams and SharePoint to personal drives. OneDrive Management gives administrators tenant-wide discovery of every OneDrive, with analysis of sharing behavior, storage utilization, status, activity, and overall governance posture.

It highlights risky “anyone with the link” access, oversharing patterns, and lifecycle concerns such as orphaned or inactive drives, and rolls these signals into Orchestry’s OneDrive risk score so you can see which areas to tackle first.


From that view, you can run OneDrive review automations that prompt owners to clean up sharing links, trim excessive version history, and confirm that content is still required.

Reviews can run on a schedule or be triggered when storage thresholds are reached, and the resulting actions are captured in audit history so you can export a clear record for security or compliance teams.

Licensing optimization

Licenses often drift as roles change. In Microsoft 365, licensing is opaque and fragmented, which makes it hard even for experienced administrators to see what’s been purchased, how it’s assigned, and where overlap creates unnecessary spend.

Enterprise brings clarity by unifying the landscape of acquired, assigned, and unassigned licenses, surfacing inactive or disabled accounts that still carry licenses, and highlighting clear overlap scenarios together with their cost impact.

From that unified view, Enterprise quantifies how much cost sits in each optimization bucket and exposes the underlying users and SKUs so IT can make informed decisions without stitching together multiple portals or spreadsheets.

These insights turn licensing oversight from guesswork into evidence-based action and make it easier to right-size the environment, eliminate waste, and redirect savings toward higher value initiatives such as Copilot.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Admin rights should match the work, not whoever happens to hold Global Admin. Enterprise introduces role-based access control with predefined functional roles across templating, workspace reporting, guest management, OneDrive reporting, and licensing analysis.

This lets you delegate administration to the right people while limiting them to the parts of Orchestry they actually manage, reducing the operational and security risk of super-admin sprawl.

Role changes are captured in an audit history so you can see who granted or removed a permission and when, supporting least-privilege practices and making investigations faster when something needs to be reviewed.

What changes for teams

With Enterprise, more of the work happens in one place. The same environment that surfaces a risky sharing link, an inactive OneDrive, or a license assigned to a disabled account also gives you a structured way to review and address it. Admins spend less time jumping between portals, scripts, and tickets because a larger part of the governance workflow moves into a system that already understands ownership, lifecycle state, and risk.

OneDrive reviews start from a definitive list of public or broadly shared links and highlight inactive or abandoned drives. The review guides owners through cleaning up risky links and trimming excessive version history, and the resulting activity is recorded in audit history.

License oversight consolidates what you own, what’s assigned, and where overlap or unused licenses sit. Instead of working from scattered spreadsheets, IT and finance can reference the same insights and exported lists when reconciling assignments or planning renewals.

Access changes become easier to manage because roles are scoped to functional areas like templating, workspace reporting, OneDrive reporting, guest reporting, and license reporting instead of broad global admin rights. Each adjustment is logged to a history table, making it clear who changed what and when.

Evidence shows up in the same dashboards teams already use. As you work through OneDrive reviews, sharing issues, and licensing opportunities, risk scores and insights reflect those changes, making it easier to show what was addressed and where optimization remains.

The overall result is simpler planning: smaller backlogs, fewer one-off exceptions, and straightforward proof when auditors ask how policies are enforced.

Who Orchestry Enterprise is for

Teams running Professional today usually step up when they want the same standard of control they have for Microsoft Teams and SharePoint applied to OneDrive, when license decisions need to move from scattered spreadsheets to a shared source of truth with clear optimization opportunities, and when least-privilege needs to move from a written policy to functional roles in the product.

If…

  • Your offboarding and cleanup processes leave behind inactive or abandoned personal drives that no one is reviewing,
  • Sharing reviews keep surfacing risky “anyone with the link” or broad internal links across user drives and workspaces,
  • License purchases, assignments, and what you see on invoices don’t clarify where licenses are unassigned, overlapping, or tied to inactive or disabled accounts, or
  • A small number of global admins are acting as a help desk for day-to-day governance tasks that other IT or operations owners should handle, because there’s currently no safe way to delegate specific areas of Orchestry,

then the Enterprise feature set aligns with the work already on your roadmap.

Starter vs. Professional vs. Enterprise tiers

Starter (formerly known as Beacon) is for visibility and readiness. Teams use it to inventory workspaces, users, storage, and sharing, then share clean exports with security and leadership before changing settings. It’s the right place to start when you need facts across Microsoft 365 without touching configuration.

Professional is for day-to-day governance of Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. It adds provisioning guardrails, lifecycle and cleanup, guest management, recommendations, and bulk actions. Admins move from “we saw an issue” to “we applied a policy and recorded it,” using the same reports to confirm what changed.

Enterprise is for complete coverage and measurable ROI. It includes everything in Professional and adds OneDrive governance, Licensing Optimization, and role-scoped administration. Enterprise gives larger customers a single, predictable plan instead of a stack of extra modules and surprise add-ons.

The practical difference shows up in the views your team already uses: optimization insights that show where license spend sits in unassigned, overlapping, or inactive/disabled buckets, OneDrive risk and review history that security can plug into their own reporting, and dashboards that make it easier to track trends in high-risk links and licenses identified for reclamation alongside routine governance work.
