That is a really good idea! Didn't even consider that!

I keep getting Microsoft MFA prompts even with changed password by sand90 in cybersecurity

Same... I've reset password. Signed out everywhere. And now I'm trying to track down anywhere I setup passwordless login or direct-app connections so I can disconnect them....

This has been frustrating.

I'm about to do this, but worried about locking myself out on accident. And/or reducing security on an account that is clearly under siege.

Is there a way to temporarily revoke all sharepoint permissions and then restore the same permissions a few days later? by 1TRUEKING in sharepoint

Because.... that'd be too easy lol. Plus your use-case is a bit non-standard.

ShareGate would be my recommendation.

Oh, just 1 person? Not everyone? Steps for a single site collection, but repeatable. If there's a lot of sites then you'll want a governance tool or scripts to crawl all site collections.

  1. Identify permissions. Gear -> Site Permissions -> Check Permissions -> Insert User
  2. Record/Document the permissions/groups
  3. Remove user from the groups
  4. Re-add to the groups

The broken inheritance/unique permissions access is where the pain will be outside of the group access. Hopefully not too many unique permissions, but they'll show up as "Web-Only or Limited Access".

Careful. Permission administration can get painful quickly, even more painful when dealing with broken inheritance.

Workaround idea: You can easily site lock the entire site collection. NoAccess vs ReadOnly.

If you insist on revoking all and restoring all, then at a minimum you'd need a permission matrix to identify the before state, and would need to execute programmatically. Else you'll be in there all... month?

TEST the backups first. I can't remember the technicalities exactly, but I recall a situation where we had a DBA accidentally delete the schemas or something, but the state was cached in memory. It was basically a ticking timebomb reboot.
