An introduction to entrusting owners

ShareGate Apricot helps IT administrators collaborate with group owners, allowing the owners to be accountable for what they create in Microsoft 365.

Your Microsoft 365 Group owners are in the best position to determine if their groups are still relevant to your organisation and if external sharing links are still valid.

This is why ShareGate Apricot empowers your Microsoft 365 Group owners to make decisions regarding unused groups and determine if external sharing links are valid and secure.

A group where owners are accountable is what we call a group Entrusted to owners.

Owners can be entrusted:

• Manually - You can toggle on Entrusted for specific Groups in the Groups tab.
• Automatically  - You can enable Auto-entrust for newly created groups in the Settings tab.

ShareGate Apricot will send email notifications only for groups that are entrusted to owners and considered unused or if there are external sharing links to validate in the groups.
