Provisioning Viva Engage Communities
In today’s dynamic workplace, creating new workspaces often involves establishing a Microsoft 365 Group. This, in turn, triggers the automatic creation of interconnected tools such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Sites, Planner Plans, and Viva Engage Communities (formerly Yammer). While self-service creation empowers users, it can also lead to a rapid expansion of these connected objects, causing organizational chaos.
ProvisionPoint offers a dynamic solution to manage and streamline the creation of Viva Engage Communities. By integrating a robust approval process within the provisioning workflow, ProvisionPoint ensures that every request for a new Microsoft 365 Group and its connected objects undergoes thorough observation. This gives administrators complete oversight and control, maintaining order and governance across Microsoft 365 environments.
Governance and Lifecycle Management
Managing Viva Engage Communities can pose significant governance challenges, particularly concerning security and naming conventions. ProvisionPoint addresses these issues by granting administrators complete control over the settings applied during the creation of Microsoft 365 Group connected objects.
With ProvisionPoint, organizations can seamlessly enforce naming conventions, security and privacy settings, and authorization processes. This empowers IT teams to efficiently manage the complexities associated with Microsoft 365 connected objects. ProvisionPoint also addresses the issue where Teams settings restrict the creation of Viva Engage Communities. It allows administrators to regain control and effectively manage their entire Microsoft Tenant.
To prevent IT sprawl, ProvisionPoint also implements robust lifecycle management rules when provisioning a Viva Engage Community. From the creation of the community to the detonation, it allows administrators to fully customize and track their Viva Engage Communities lifecycle journey. This ensures a secure, consistent experience for users and maintains an uncluttered Active Directory.
