Data Management - Ensure the Customer Lockbox Feature is Enabled

By Ashwin Venugopal -

 








Summary

Customer Lockbox feature should be enabled in which your approval is required by Microsoft for any datacenter operation that grants a Microsoft support engineer or other employee direct access to any data. For example, in some cases a Microsoft support engineer might need access to your Microsoft 365 content in order to help troubleshoot and fix an issue for you. Customer lockbox requests also have an expiration time, and content access is removed after the support engineer has fixed the issue.
