Microsoft 365 Offboarding Process
Introduction
When an Offboarding Request is submitted through Turbine, a SaaS Support Specialist will ensure that the departing employee’s access to email, chat, and Electric-supported applications is revoked . Below is an outline of Electric’s process for Microsoft 365 Offboardings.
Process Overview
-
If indicated on the Offboarding Request, the Offboarder will receive a message 10 minutes prior to the designated offboarding time.
-
The Specialist will reset the user’s email password and revoke access to OneDrive. This will disable email and OneDrive access on all devices.
-
If the user’s access to their chat application has not been disabled with their email (Microsoft Teams), the Specialist will deactivate their Slack account.
-
The Specialist will remove any recovery information the user associated with their email account and any Microsoft 365/Security groups or distribution lists the user was part of.
-
The Specialist will then proceed to remaining tasks from the Offboarding Task List, which may vary from customer to customer.
-
If an Out of Office is requested, the Specialist will set an Automatic Reply with the requested message.
-
If OneDrive sharing is requested, the Specialist will provide a link to the files to the specified user.
-
The Specialist will convert the User’s account to a Shared Mailbox and revoke the M365 license. To allow the mailbox to retain/receive mail, the unlicensed account will not be completely removed.
-
After the account has been converted to a Shared Mailbox, the Specialist will configure any email forwarding requested.
-
-
If calendar sharing is requested, the Specialist will add the listed users as members of the Shared Mailbox.
-
-
The Specialist will delete, deactivate, or suspend the User from all Electric supported SaaS applications based on the offboarding request.
-
If the Offboarder opted to receive an offboarding summary, Electric will send them an email confirming the actions completed by Electric to offboard the departed employee.
