@Tony Redmond Just wondering not updated since 01/26. Too Busy with other project or anything wrong?

He is on holiday so that probably explains it! Sure we will see some activity soon.

Aha! thanks, @Cian Allner for the heads-up.

Simple. I have been on vacation. An update is coming on February 10 that includes refreshes for the content about Planner, Teams, and other material.

Thanks! Who is the email coming from for existing subscribers so I can be on the look out for it?

Hi Tony. I very much enjoy your book, as it is a very complete source of information how to handle Office 365. As it is 1000+ pages, I didn't get the chance yet to read it cover to cover. :)

 

From what I have read, I think it is written from the perspective of a dedicated admin user account in the tenant, which has access to all the admin centers. 

 

I manage several tenants with Delegated Access (via Microsoft Partner Center), so I'm not really a dedicated user inside the tenant. When I access te Admin Center this way, I'm missing several options a dedicated admin user does have. Some are expected (I can't do payments, add other partners, etc.), but I'm also missing links to other admin centers. I only see the Exchange, SharePoint and Skype for Business Admin Center in my customers O365 Admin Center. But in my own Admin Center I have links to OneDrive, PowerApps, Flow, Security and Compliance, AzureAD, and more.

 

I was wondering if you could add information (a new chapter) for Delegated Admins like me. How can we best manage tenants that are not our own? 

 

Things like:

- What additional actions do we need to take after we are granted Delegated Access? Maybe add our own AzureAD-account to the Azure Directory of our customers?  

- How do we connect with PowerShell? 

- What works different?

- Are there other best practices?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Anything is possible, but a chapter like that would be of interest to a limited number of people. Also, there are different approaches in use to manage multiple tenants on behalf of customers, so writing about this topic is more difficult than it seems. We'll have to think about it. I'll add it to the long list I have...
