Microsoft 365 services depend on identity

Microsoft 365 & Identity

Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, licensing, and administration all rely on identity, authentication, permissions, groups, and roles. This hub connects those layers so troubleshooting starts with the dependency that can prove the problem—not just the service showing the symptom.

Learning method

Use the MSP University flow

Understand the environment, investigate useful evidence, make deliberate changes, and verify the original failure.

Review the learning path

Learn the service and identity foundations

Each lane has one primary home here. Published links appear where reviewed material exists; the remaining cards define the practical scope without claiming a release.

Published material available

Exchange Online

Mailbox permissions, Outlook behavior, archive processing, retention holds, and the evidence needed to separate configuration from processing.

Published investigation guide

Entra ID and Identity

Begin with sign-in and Conditional Access evidence. Broader tenant identity, user, and synchronization guidance remains in development.

Investigate Entra sign-ins

Content in development

Authentication and Conditional Access

Authentication methods, sign-in context, policy evaluation, exclusions, and safe ways to distinguish access policy from application behavior.

Published material available

Permissions, Groups, and Roles

Service permissions, group-backed access, administrative roles, propagation, and verification—currently represented by shared-mailbox troubleshooting.

Content in development

SharePoint and OneDrive

Sites, libraries, sharing, synchronization, permissions, version behavior, and the identity context behind access.

Content in development

Teams and Collaboration

Teams, groups, meetings, membership, file dependencies, and the service boundaries that make collaboration issues cross-platform.

Content in development

Licensing and Activation

License assignment, service plans, activation state, entitlement checks, and how to verify whether access exists before troubleshooting the client.

Troubleshoot with reviewed procedures

Tutorials provide the repeatable procedure. Cases preserve the investigation, competing explanations, and judgment behind it.

Exchange Online · Archive

Primary mailbox usage is not falling

Check archive state, policy and tag assignment, retention-hold state, processing, and mailbox statistics in sequence.

Exchange Online · Outlook

A shared mailbox does not appear

Verify permissions and propagation before testing automapping, restarting Outlook, or adding the mailbox manually.

Microsoft Entra ID · Published investigation

A sign-in or access-policy result needs explanation

Match the correct event and separate authentication, Conditional Access, device, network, client, application, and resource observations from conclusions.
