Microsoft 365 concierge

The quiet administration that keeps Microsoft 365 tidy.

Day-to-day help fixes what just broke. Concierge administration is different: a recurring rhythm that reviews licensing, permissions, and mailbox housekeeping before small drift becomes a real problem.

Licensing and user administration

Licensing drift is quiet, but it adds up in cost and in access left behind.

License assignment review

Assigned licences are checked against active staff on a routine cadence, not only when someone complains.

Group and permission hygiene

Security groups and shared-resource permissions are reviewed for accumulated access that no longer matches a role.

Guest and external access

External guest accounts are reviewed on a schedule instead of being left indefinitely after a project ends.

Collaboration housekeeping

Shared spaces get messy quietly; a little routine order keeps them useful.

Shared and resource mailboxes

Shared mailboxes, distribution lists, and calendars are reviewed for ownership and continued relevance.

Teams and SharePoint structure

Unused or duplicate sites and teams are identified so people can find the right place to work.

Retention and storage

Storage growth and retention settings are checked so nothing important is lost and nothing unnecessary lingers.

Planned changes and check-ins

Administration should be visible, not invisible until something surprises someone.

Change windows

Tenant-wide settings changes are scheduled and explained in plain language before they happen.

Recurring check-ins

A routine review surfaces licence cost, unused access, and upcoming Microsoft changes worth knowing about.

Escalation to project work

A tenant restructuring, migration, or complex governance project is scoped separately from this recurring cadence.

Prepare this

A useful conversation starts with simple facts.

  • Approximate number of licensed users and licence types
  • Known shared mailboxes, distribution lists, or Teams sites
  • Current process for reviewing guest or external access
  • Anyone who has left recently without a documented offboarding
  • Upcoming changes such as a merger, move, or new department

Bring the context; keep credentials out of the message.
