Remove a Collaborator Governance Action is not working
Thank you for all the testing!
Raised this to MS Support and according to them it only works if the user has been added as a Direct Access not a shared link or the usual sharing that we do where we specify a specific user when sharing.
I really hope Microsoft would also support the remove collaboration when using the usual sharing.
Yes I agree that it should be automated as per the guidelines in the link you provided. Thus far, I cannot get it to automate the removal of a collaborator though - the same as you are facing.
What do you see if you click the cog wheel and select Governance log?
The Governance action for removing Collaborator is not listed there. But I can see the alert has been triggered.
In my continued testing, I cannot get automated governance to take the action to remove the collaborator. However, if I change the action to Remove External users, it works, and removes all external users.
Weird that it does not do the same for collaborator though. I may open a ticket with Microsoft about this and see what response I get.

Hi Mary, thank you for this information. This is really handy to know. I agree that this functionality is not ideal. I have logged with Microsoft myself. I am sure they will tell me the same thing. I will let you know if otherwise.
I'm working on this some more but have not succeeded in generating automated governance as yet. I will let you know if I figure this out.
