Important Update: Improvements Coming to 365 Permission Manager

If you're on one of our Hornet Security packages, you’ll soon benefit from a powerful update to 365 Permission Manager, going live on 14th June.

This update brings smarter automation to help manage compliance settings more easily, saving time and reducing admin work.

🔍 So, what’s changing?

Here’s what the update means for you:

1. Smarter Compliance – Done Automatically
All compliance policies can now auto-correct themselves if something’s out of line. Less manual work for admins.

2. Improved OneDrive & SharePoint Settings
Sites will now automatically match the security rules you've set – no more checking or adjusting them manually.

3. Better Control of Teams Sharing
You can now set different time limits for sharing files inside or outside your organisation – and choose whether files shared via Teams should be deleted from OneDrive afterwards.

4. More Customisation Options
New sharing settings give you greater flexibility in how permissions are monitored and managed.

🛠 What to Expect on Rollout



• All current policies will be automatically upgraded to the new format.
• If a policy is already linked to a site, it will stay linked after the upgrade.
• Sites without defined settings will apply stricter defaults for added protection – we recommend reviewing your current settings before 14th June.
• Any previous “approved” exceptions will reappear so you can re-confirm them.
• It’s also a good chance to remove any old or unused policies.
