- The first part is connecting to your tenant and that is your admin login. The 2nd part is the user you want to add to the site as a site collection admin. So either you or the person wanting access to the files account.
Hi i would prefer my name to the 2nd part , i.e i will add my name to the site as a site collection admin.
After that how do i need to access the users files as i want to copy them and share to their manager
Hi experts
I can see this user under deleted users.
Home-Users-Deleted users.
Is there any way to recover data of this user, i read earlier that contents will be preserved for one month
- Yes follow the posts we put to assign site collection admin to yourself or the person needing permission to the OneDrive site. You have at least 30 days to do so unless you have preservation turned way up then you have longer.
- You can also add yourself as ODFB owner using the user interface: https://www.petri.com/4-ways-add-secondary-administrator-onedrive-business
- Yeah but he disabled the user aka it moves to deleted, don't think you can use UI at that point!
