Manage Containers

Click Containers under Auto discovery in the left pane. The Containers page appears. You can select an object type from the list on the left of the Containers page, and then refer to the following instructions to manage containers:

  • Create a container – Click Create. In the Create container pane, enter a name for the container and click Save.

  • Rename a container – To rename a custom container, select the container and click Rename. In the Rename a container window, change the value in the Container name field and click Save. The default containers in AvePoint Online Services cannot be renamed.

  • Batch import – The Batch import method is supported by the following Microsoft 365 objects:

    • Exchange mailbox

    • OneDrive

      NOTE

      For an orphaned user that no longer exists in your organization, this user’s OneDrive is regarded as an orphaned OneDrive. If you want to include orphaned OneDrive via batch import jobs, first contact AvePoint representatives to turn on the switch in the backend.

    • SharePoint site

    • Microsoft 365 Group / Microsoft Team / Viva Engage community (including group team sites and group mailboxes)

    • Project site

    • Microsoft 365 user

    • Security and distribution group (including security groups, mail-enabled security groups, distribution lists, room lists, and dynamic distribution lists)

    To batch import objects into a container, select the container and click Batch import. For more details on batch import, refer to Import Objects in Batch.

    • View objects in a container – Click the container name to open the page listing all objects in the container. If you want to delete some objects, select the objects, and click Delete.

    • Remove objects only – To remove only the objects from one or more containers, select the containers and click Remove objects only.

    • Delete containers – Select one or more custom containers and click Delete. Click Confirm in the confirmation window. When the containers are deleted, the objects within the containers are removed from the groups.
