Where the lane changes
Some Microsoft 365 work needs a different engagement.
Restore expected everyday use
Guide a user, troubleshoot a familiar problem, or carry out an approved routine change.
Deliver a planned wider change
Migration, tenant redesign, major rollout, information architecture, automation, or policy programme.
Investigate or decide material risk
Suspicious activity, privileged access, incident investigation, legal hold, or focused hardening review.
Own another technical layer
Network, hardware, device fleet, business application, internet provider, or another vendor.
See these lanes in practice
Approvals stay visible
Routine does not mean unapproved.
The desk can apply a familiar change after the business identifies the accountable owner. Urgency is not a substitute for authorization.
| Request | Business input | What may need another owner |
|---|---|---|
| Mailbox or calendar access | Mailbox owner or manager, intended access, and duration. | Retention, legal, executive-access, or information-owner decisions. |
| Guest or site access | Resource owner, guest identity, business reason, and expected duration. | External-sharing policy or information-governance design. |
| License or role change | Authorized manager, effective date, role, and required service. | Privileged administration or broad role redesign. |
| Employee departure | Last working time, account action, work owner, and device-return owner. | Investigation, legal hold, or retention advice. |
