Microsoft is rolling out a new report in the SharePoint admin center that gives item-level visibility into permissions granted through the “Everyone” and “Everyone except external users” (EEEU) groups.
Previously, administrators could identify sites where these broad-access groups were being used. But there was a practical limitation: we can’t identify which specific files or items were actually exposed through that access. We knew the risk existed at the site level, but pinpointing it required manual digging through every item inside.
The new report addresses that limitation by surfacing the individual files and items that inherit access through Everyone or EEEU.
Admins can now see the exact files and items shared through these two special groups, across both SharePoint and OneDrive. Instead of starting with a site and manually tracing permissions to determine what content is exposed, administrators can identify the affected items directly and assess whether that access is intentional.
- This is a SharePoint Advanced Management capability, and it provides read-only visibility.
- You can pull this through the admin center UI or PowerShell.
The rollout begins in early August 2026 and is expected to complete by mid-August 2026.
