NathanFAW Happy workday to you.
I am confirming Vasil's solution. As you develop your "Existing Employee IT Procedures," our IT governance gave the "leader only" access to ex-employee's content for privacy purposes.
This way, the leader can review and, most importantly, remove any personal content. Then the leader can check the remaining information with the team and delegate the tasks.I hope this helps.
