query on onedrive

Question

Hi All,

I have a user, user1@contoso.com, and I need to determine how many users currently have access to user1's OneDrive. If user1 has shared any files or folders with other users, I want to revoke all their access. Please guide me how to achieve this.

Additionally, I need to grant user2@contoso.com access to user1's OneDrive, which I can achieve using the following syntax:

Set-SPOUser -Site https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user1_contoso_com -LoginName user2@contoso.com -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $true

Hi @Roger Roger ,

Welcome to Q&A forum!

If you want to get how many users have access to User 1's OneDrive:

First, you need to add yourself as an administrator of User 1's OneDrive.

Non-official, just for reference.

Then, you can get the Sharing report in User 1's OneDrive.

Open User1's OneDrive, go to OneDrive settings--More Settings--Run sharing report, and you'll be asked where in the drive you want to save the report. The resulting csv file shows the different ways a file has been shared and with whom.

Finally, if you want to terminate sharing in batches, you can use PowerShell to remove the sharing link.

Function Remove-OneDriveSharingLink {
    param (   
        $OneDriveURL
        )   
    process {
        Connect-PnPOnline -Url $OneDriveURL 
        $Ctx= Get-PnPContext

        $Files= Get-PnPListItem -List "documents"
        foreach( $File in $Files) {       
            $Froles= $File.RoleAssignments
            $Ctx.load($Froles)
            $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()

            If($Froles.Count -gt 0) {
                for ($i = $Froles.Count -1; $i -ge 0 ; --$i){   
                $Link=$Froles[$i].Member
                $Ctx.Load($Link)
                $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
                If($Link.title -like "SharingLinks*") {
                    $Froles[$i].DeleteObject()
                }
                $Link = $null
            }
            $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()           
            }      
        }
    }
}

Remove-OneDriveSharingLink -OneDriveURL "https://<tenant>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/<username>_<tenant>_onmicrosoft_com"

It breaks all the links shared, internal or external.

The PowerShell command you use to grant User 2 access to User 1's OneDrive is completely correct. The premise is that you have administrator privileges to User 1's OneDrive.
