Delete and Restore Users
This article provides information about Delete and Restore User actions.
When managing your Microsoft 365 environment, there are certain situations when you need to remove users from your tenant, be it in a situation of offboarding a colleague from the company or ending the collaboration with an external user.
With Syskit Point, you get the ability to manage your users easily.
The Delete and Restore User actions can be used when:
offboarding a user from the company; before deleting, you can copy permissions to a new user with the help of the Copy User Permissions action
deleting external users – if you have one or multiple external users who exist in your Microsoft Entra ID, and you have ended your collaboration with them
restoring a user – in case someone deleted a wrong user
