#Manage Site Collection Permission Recertification Tasks

When your administrator enables permission recertification for your site collection and selects you as the assignee, a permission recertification task will be generated and assigned to you. This task contains the permissions of users and groups for this site collection. You can then modify the permissions within the task, and the permission changes will be updated to Microsoft 365.

1. On the Home page, navigate to the Confirmations section in your To-do list. The permission recertification tasks that need your review are displayed. You can filter the tasks by Due date or Created date. Locate a site collection permission recertification task and click the view button to view details in a panel.

2. Click Certify on the ribbon. The users and SharePoint groups that have permissions to the site collection are displayed. Review user permissions and SharePoint group permissions to check if they are still correct. Select a user or SharePoint group to view the permission details.

   For a SharePoint group, you can perform the following actions:

   • View group members – Click View group members, and a panel will appear. You can perform the following actions on a selected group member:

     • Change group – If you choose the Change the group that the user belongs to action, select a target group from the drop-down list. If you choose the Remove the user action, choose one of the following options: Remove from the current group and Remove from the site collection. When you finish, click Save.

     • Remove user from group – Removes the selected user from the current group. Click Remove in the pop-up window to confirm.

     • Remove user from site collection – The user will no longer have any access to the site collection. Click Remove in the pop-up window to confirm.

   • Edit group permission – Locate an object in the list and select a permission level from the Permissions drop-down list.

   • Remove group permission – Locate an object in the list and click the remove button. A pop-up window appears asking for your confirmation. Click Remove to confirm.

   For a user, you can perform the following actions:

   • Edit user permission – Locate an object in the list and select a permission level from the Permissions drop-down list.

   • Remove user permission – Locate an object in the list and click the remove button. A pop-up window appears asking for your confirmation. Click Remove to confirm.

   • Remove user from site collection – The user will no longer have any access to the site collection. Click Remove user from site collection above the table. A pop-up window appears asking for your confirmation. Click Remove to confirm.

   You may need to reset changes. Click Reset on the ribbon to select Reset my changes or Reset all changes.

   • Reset my changes – Any changes you've made to this task will be cleared. The task will be reset to the state when it is assigned to you.

   • Reset all changes – Any previous changes that have been made to this task will be cleared. The task will be reset to its initial state when it was originally generated.

3. When you finish, you can choose from the following actions:

   • Click Submit to submit your changes.

   • Click Reject to finish the task without making any changes.

   • Click Reassign to reassign the task to another approver if your administrator allows you to do so.
