About this tool
The Oversharing Detection tool identifies six types of sharing risks across your SharePoint environment. Find anonymous links that allow anyone on the internet to access your content, "Everyone" permissions that open files to all organization members, and excessive external sharing.
Prioritize findings by risk level to focus remediation on the most critical exposures. Export results with direct links to the shared content for quick remediation.
Essential before deploying Microsoft Copilot or other AI tools that could surface improperly shared content.

Limitations & out-of-scope
Limited to the six risk types it's built to detect — anonymous links, Everyone permissions, and excessive external sharing across SharePoint — using Sites.Read.All and Group.Read.All, both read-only. It flags exposure; closing an anonymous link or tightening a permission is a manual step the administrator takes afterward. Teams-native chat sharing and Exchange mail-forwarding rules are separate exposure vectors this SharePoint-scoped tool does not examine.
