Why did the ghost haunt the SharePoint site?
It still had permission to be there. đź‘»

Former employees. Forgotten guest accounts. Users nobody recognises. Their accounts can be easy to overlook, and their access deserves a regular check.

DeliverPoint’s Dead Accounts report helps SharePoint admins find accounts that need attention, review their permissions and decide what to do next.

This Halloween, shine a light on the accounts hiding in plain sight.

No exorcism required. Just a permissions review.

The difference? Once you get there, we’ll show you how to govern Hero Links, keep control of who can use them, and tackle ownerless SharePoint sites with DeliverPoint.

Data Access Governance can help you find potential SharePoint access risks. But what happens when you need to investigate them and take action?
That’s the focus of our latest blog, comparing SharePoint Advanced Management's Data Access Governance with DeliverPoint by Lightning Tools.
While DAG provides administrators with organisation-wide reporting to help identify potential oversharing, DeliverPoint provides detailed permission and sharing-link reporting and management for authorised Site Owners and administrators. And that means the two can play complementary roles in the same governance strategy.
You can read the full comparison in our latbest blog: https://hubs.ly/Q04Crqml0

Want to see DeliverPoint in action? Join us this Thursday, 29th October for our live webinar, where we'll also look at the latest DeliverPoint capabilities around Hero Links and ownerless SharePoint sites.

Should IT really be making every SharePoint access decision?
If you're looking for a practical way to decentralise SharePoint permissions without losing control, take a look at our latest blog.
You'll discover how organisations using DeliverPoint can empower Site Owners and business stakeholders to manage access requests themselves, while maintaining strong governance, security and accountability.
Decentralisation doesn't mean handing out admin rights to everyone. It means:
• Defining clear responsibilities for IT, Site Owners and business stakeholders
• Establishing guardrails around sensitive content and external sharing
• Following consistent approval processes
• Performing regular, risk-based access reviews
• Maintaining visibility and accountability across the environment
When the right people make access decisions within clearly defined boundaries, organisations can reduce permission sprawl, improve governance, and ensure users have the access they need when they need it.

Every new feature creates new governance challenges.
The new Hero Links are a great way to surface important content in SharePoint, but who will ensure they're still relevant six months down the line?
As Hero Links start appearing across more Microsoft 365 environments, organisations need a way to identify ownership, review links and maintain them throughout their lifecycle.
That's why we've introduced Hero Link governance capabilities in DeliverPoint 6.2.
Because governance isn't just about permissions. It's about making sure people can trust what they find. To read more now, check out our blog:

Brett had a fantastic time at CollabDays Portugal on Friday, and with the event falling at the end of the working week, it naturally led into a weekend social in Porto.
Community friends and colleagues came together to enjoy everything the city has to offer, and it was a great reminder that these events don't stop when the sessions end. The connections, conversations and friendships built outside office hours are often just as valuable. The more you put into the community, the more you'll get out of it!

How confident are you that the right people have access to the right SharePoint content?
For many organisations, permissions have grown over time, sites have changed ownership, and access reviews often get pushed down the priority list.
That's why we've created a free SharePoint Permissions Risk Review worksheet. It helps you identify which sites need attention first, assess potential risks, and create a clear action plan for improving governance.

• Score sites against practical risk factors
• Prioritise your reviews
• Record findings and ownership decisions
• Focus on the areas that matter most

Who has access to what? And where has all that Microsoft 365 storage gone? 🤔
If those questions are getting harder to answer, Brett’s session at CollabDays Portugal today could be well worth catching!
Brett will be showing how DeliverPoint can help Site Owners take greater control of permissions, sharing and storage, without relying on central IT for every request.
