Performance Issue - Cornell Sharepoint site owners asked to review members

Thursday, October 30, 2025 - 7:57am

<div>UPDATE: Unrelated to the October 29 Microsoft Azure/Content Delivery Network portal issues, today’s SharePoint site owner email communications were previously scheduled and could not be subsequently or delayed to a later date. New instructions have been published on the website: <a href="https://it.cornell.edu/sharepoint/sharepoint-permissions">https://it.cor... channels are often linked to a SharePoint site, so individuals who only interact with their group in the Teams channel may not realize their group’s files and other resource are managed in a SharePoint site. Members promoted to co-ownership of their Teams group will receive the same SharePoint site owner email reminder as owners of the more familiar or traditional SharePoint sites associated with projects and individual use.<br><br></div><div>For SharePoint sites associated with a Teams group, the Teams owners can use their Teams channel to remove members who no longer need access.<br><br></div><div>SharePoint site owners with more extensive members and multiple site files or folders that may use different permissions will find the email prompt an easy way to access and change permissions.<br><br></div><div>Microsoft Search and Copilot can surface overshared data, which is driving the permission reviews. Please review and update--as needed--the permissions for SharePoint sites with more than 25 members by December 1, 2025.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>For details about the unrelated October 29 Microsoft Azure incident, now resolved</strong>, see that alert: <a href="https://itservicealerts.hosting.cornell.edu/view/7635">https://itservice... today, Cornell Sharepoint site owners received unexpected but valid alerts to review site members as part of internal efforts to remediate oversharing of permissions across Microsoft products.<br><br></div><div>Approximately 900 Sharepoint sites are included in this remediation, and individuals will receive a message for each site they own or co-own.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>These email messages may appear as spam or phishing, particularly when individuals own multiple sites.&nbsp;<br><br></div>
