Limitations & out-of-scope
Generates access-matrix data from Sites.Read.All and Group.Read.All for a manager to review manually — it does not integrate with, or replace, Entra ID's own Access Reviews feature, and no certification workflow is enforced automatically inside this tool itself. Coverage is SharePoint-only; certifying Exchange mailbox delegation or Teams ownership needs a different data source.
