User leaves organization - what happens with all the files ?
StefanFried - did you get this answered? I see it's a little dated, but wanted to check before assisting.
Lou_Mickley "A little dated"....as in almost 3 years old. lol
I and others would like to hear thoughts on best practice/solutions for this situation.
When a user is deleted in AD/AAD, O365 licensed revoked, the OneDrive library actively continues on INCLUDING existing sharing permissions until the tenant-wide OneDrive admin retention value counts down to 0 - then all the files are deleted into recycle bin, and 93 days later, permanently deleted. These files can only be retrieved from the recycle bin via PowerShell since the user no longer active.
If you have access delegation turned on the Manager (defined in the AD attribute) automatically gets read/write access and if no manager defined, the defined secondary admin can have access automatically granted.
