Guide to Microsoft 365 Delegated Administration

This guide details the concept of delegated administration within Microsoft 365, emphasizing its importance for security and efficiency in managing administrative tasks across various departments. It outlines how Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is utilized to decentralize administrative functions, allowing organizations to delegate specific tasks without granting full administrative rights. The document discusses the limitations of native Microsoft 365 delegated admin permissions, which often do not provide the granularity needed for effective management. It also presents the concept of Functional Access Control (FAC) as a solution to achieve Least Privilege Access, ensuring that administrators have only the permissions necessary for their roles. Furthermore, the guide provides practical use cases for implementing delegated administration in scenarios such as managing Microsoft Teams and license management, demonstrating how organizations can streamline operations while maintaining security. The overall objective is to provide a structured approach to delegated administration that enhances operational efficiency and security in Microsoft 365 environments.
