Features

• New Policies added: Shadow Users and Workspaces with Too Many Members.

  • Shadow Users policy

    • Shadow users are users who have access to specific documents/folders or other content but are not members of the workspace. Shadow users can potentially represent a security risk, as it is best practice to share access within workspace members only, especially when a workspace is private and contains sensitive content.

    • Default Shadow Users policy is created after the upgrade to the latest Point Cloud version.

    • The Default Shadow Users policy is not applied to any workspaces as it is not included in the default rule. To apply the policy to your workspaces, we recommend using Syskit Point rules.

    • The default Shadow Users policy, when applied to workspaces, will show policy vulnerabilities on the Security & Compliance dashboard, but no tasks are created, and no emails sent.

    • For more details about the Shadow Users policy settings, read this article.

    • To find out more on how to resolve the detected vulnerability, read the related Security & Compliance report article

  • Workspaces with Too Many Members policy

    • Workspaces with Too Many Members are workspaces that have a number of members that are over a defined threshold.

    • Too many members in a workspace may lead to more difficult access control, which can result in a security risk.

    • Default Maximum Number of Members policy is created after the upgrade to the latest Point Cloud version and sets a limit of 50 members on a workspace.

    • The Default Maximum Number of Members policy is included in the default rule, meaning that it is applied to your workspaces.

      • If policy vulnerabilities are detected, they are shown on the Security & Compliance dashboard, but no tasks are created, and no emails sent

    • For more details on how to modify the Maximum Number of Members, read the following article.

Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Ad-hoc external users can now be removed with the Delete Users action.

  • Ad-hoc users are external users who are not a part of Microsoft Entra ID but have access to specific SharePoint content.

  • Since they can't be found in Microsoft Entra ID, deleting such users in the same way as your tenant users or guest users is not possible.

  • The Delete Users action now removes ad-hoc external user access from SharePoint content.

  • After running the Delete Users action, the ad-hoc external user is no longer visible in Syskit Point access reports.

• The Remove Access action is now enabled for users on the Sharing step - Users view - in the Access Review task.

  • Multiselection of users is also enabled.

Multiple improvements are available for the Storage Management for SharePoint Online feature:

• The Storage tag was added to reports related to Storage Management for easier filtering in the Report Center.

• Site Storage Metrics report now has the Created On column added that can be selected from the column chooser.

• Columns sort on reports is now correctly displayed on the tenant-wide Storage Metrics report.

• Fixed an issue on sites where information about file versions and sizes was not regularly refreshing.

• Global Viewers can now manage Scheduled Reports they created. The following actions are available: Preview, Send Now, Edit, Pause, Delete. As before, Global Viewers cannot manage Scheduled Reports created by other users.

• Improved the sync process for Private and Shared channels, thus eliminating specific cases where manual intervention was needed to successfully sync Private and Shared channels in Syskit Point.

• Newly created licensed users who have never logged in are no longer shown on the Inactive Licenses report.

  • Additionally, on the Users Overview screen in the Inactive Users tile and Inactive Users view, newly created users (those created in the last 30 days) will not show.

• Fixed an issue where the Autodiscover sync would load without ever finishing.

• Fixed an issue where task resolvers who were removed from their resolver position would still receive emails when someone else resolved their past Security & Compliance check violations.

• Fixed an issue where the Anonymously Shared Sites report and Externally Shared Sites report were not updating the information (numbers) in the tile filters accurately.

• Fixed a bug that allowed owners of inactive workspaces to keep their workspace indefinitely, even when a maximum period limit for keeping the workspace was previously set.

• Fixed a bug where automatically Scheduled Report emails did not include an Attachment.

• Fixed a bug where users who were both admins and workspace owners were not added as Reviewers for Private Channels, nor could they be added manually.

• Improved the description for the Inactive Guest Users policy email and task screen.

• Various improvements and minor UX fixes are available.
