The SharePoint Admin Agent is an AI-powered governance experience that helps your administrators assess and remediate content-related risks across your SharePoint and OneDrive environments. Instead of running reports manually, use natural language queries to investigate tenant-level conditions and take guided remediation actions.
Microsoft 365 Copilot (Copilot) and Agents work best when SharePoint and OneDrive content is well-governed, relevant, and securely accessible. The SharePoint Admin Agent helps by enabling your administrators to move quickly from assessment to action using a conversational interface. It analyzes data drawn from SharePoint and SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) to provide contextual insights aligned to governance priorities, such as:
- Managing content sprawl
- Managing the content lifecycle
- Preventing oversharing in search and AI responses
- Managing permissions and access to content and sites
How the SharePoint Admin Agent helps with content governance
Use the SharePoint Admin Agent to get started with these important content governance tasks:
- Assess whether your organization is ready for Copilot with content management assessment capabilities
- Control your content structure with catalog management capabilities
- Manage the content lifecycle with site lifecycle management policies, such as the site ownership policy, inactive sites policy, and site attestations, and archive stale content using Microsoft 365 Archive
- Prevent accidental oversharing with data access governance reports and policies
- Control access to content with reports, site access reviews, and policies like Conditional Access, restricted access control, and restricted content discovery
- Implement content resilience with Baseline Security Mode settings, Microsoft 365 Backup, and version history
