You can restrict access and sharing of OneDrive content to users in specified Microsoft Entra ID security groups. Even if other users outside of these security groups are licensed for OneDrive, they won’t have access to their own OneDrive or any shared OneDrive content when this policy is in effect.
OneDrive access restriction is applied when a user attempts to open a OneDrive or access a file. Users not members of the specified security group can still see files in search results if they have existing direct permissions to the file. However, they won't be able to access the file if they're not part of the security specified group.
You can use this to prevent oversharing of OneDrive content. For example, you can restrict OneDrive access and sharing to your users, preventing guests from accessing any OneDrive content even if the content was previously shared with them.
Select Restrict OneDrive access to only users in specified security groups.
Add the security groups (maximum of 10) you want to be able to use OneDrive.
Select Save.
Important
Users who aren't members of the specified security groups will lose access to their own OneDrive and any shared OneDrive content. Sharing of content will be allowed only with the specified security group or members of the specified security group.
