Are your colleagues members of so many teams and SharePoint sites that they’ve lost track of what’s where? Orchestry workspace reviews make it easy to tidy things up.
Workspace owners—or delegated users—are prompted to review membership, including owners, members, and guest users. Whether reducing member clutter or cleaning the slate for a fresh start, workspace reviews have you covered.
Would you like to:
✅ Add users to a team as members or owners?
✅ Promote trusted users to ownership roles for better delegation?
✅ Remove inactive or unnecessary users to tighten permission security?
Workspace Review provides a guided experience to ensure every change made is purposeful, whether you're preparing for a Microsoft Copilot rollout or improving team functionality.
Pro Tip: IT admins can set minimum ownership and membership requirements for workspaces to avoid unnecessary single-user teams or sites.
Nothing says “security risk” like forgotten guest users lingering in your workspaces. These may include contractors, former clients, or anyone who no longer requires access to your organization’s content.
Workspace reviews make it easy for site and team owners to identify and remove stale guest accounts, ensuring only the right people have access to your resources.
Ownerless workspaces are a common issue, often caused by employee turnover. Without an owner, nobody’s responsible for maintaining the workspace—or more importantly, its permissions and data security.
Here’s how Orchestry solves that problem:
This efficient process eliminates the need for IT admins to manually assign ownership roles, saving time and reducing risks.
Workspace Review policies are designed to take the heavy lifting off your plate. Once configured, your policies will automatically trigger regular reviews (e.g., quarterly or annually) to ensure memberships remain accurate, effective, and compliant.
When a workspace review is triggered, owners or delegates receive an Orchestry task containing everything they need to complete the review, all presented in a user-friendly interface.
The automated review process ensures:
Workspace Reviews help save time, improve security, and streamline operations by automating crucial tasks. Here's how you'll benefit:
Think of it like a housekeeping service for your digital workspaces—everything gets cleaned up and re-aligned with a few clicks of the mouse.
Managing SharePoint sites and Teams doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With Workspace Review, you’ll stay on top of group memberships, prevent sprawl, and improve your organization’s security and efficiency.
