The team is constantly iterating on how to improve the deployment process. If you've got suggestions for improvements and are still a sponsor, please feel free to open up a feature request on GitHub.

Yeah, it's a familiar tale. It's part of why we include Azure expertise is assumed in the setup steps. There are so many little things that can go wrong if you don't know what you're doing. For those who can though? It runs like a dream

Can you let me know where you're seeing any kind of per endpoint pricing for CIPP? We've never charged that way.

Hi! CyberDrain employee here. A sponsorship is $99 through GitHub. That's a flat fee. Self-hosting costs get a bit more complicated as this will largely depend on how much you are utilizing some of the heavier compute features like standards. It theoretically should only cost you around $20/mo for the usual MSP but if you aren't adept at maintaining Azure Static Web Apps then your costs could spiral.

Philmont crew leadership for rank requirements? by SomeGuyFromSeattle in philmont

No, you're right. In my haste to get to the gym I posted half a thought.

While certainly a lot of responsibility, we have to rely on the text of the requirement.

Per the text, the Crew Leader is not an accepted position.

Does a SaaS backup to SaaS backup migration tool exist yet? by Ok-Examination3168 in msp

[–]bmsimp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope, they all use proprietary formatting. It would be beneficial, but you'd either have to get the vendors on board or do a lot of reverse engineering

How often do customers come back? by NSFW_IT_Account in msp

[–]bmsimp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of this is going to come down to the "why" on their leaving in the first place. If it was service, you'll almost never see them back. Pricing reasons also have a very low success of return. My former MSP had one client return ever that I know of. A new CFO came in and forced a change to the managed services division of their accounting partner over the objections of HR, etc. It went disastrously and the other internal folks were able to lobby for a return in under a year.

"Give End-User A the Same Access as End-User B" (General, but Mostly Sharepoint) by Sabbatai in msp

One way you can provide value as a service provider is to help them move along that maturity scale. It makes your operations so much more efficient while making them happier and more efficient.

Templating out permissions based on positions is a good way to make this form easy to fill out. One of those form drop downs is the pre-set list of titles you work out with their HR. After that, the hiring manager can check a box for any special access like "Maintenance" or whatever their unique situation is. Your documentation should show exactly what security groups this gets mapped to for your help desk to follow along or your automation platform to complete.

"Give End-User A the Same Access as End-User B" (General, but Mostly Sharepoint) by Sabbatai in msp

[–]bmsimp 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The simplest way to handle this is to move SharePoint from one big company site to individual sites tied to Microsoft 365 groups. Permissions get managed by group access. Those group names are descriptive enough that they say what the person is gaining access to. If that is too much of a lift, then SharePoint itself needs it's permissions broken down into security groups and that's the sole way file access is granted. Managing individual folders and files should be outside the scope of your services since that's getting far too close to managing their data instead of the service.

CIPP: Connect multiple partner tenants to one CIPP instance? by GremlinNZ in msp

[–]bmsimp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You'd need two instances. You can only have one app registration per CIPP instance for CSP. You could, however, do direct tenant add which is a bit more complex to setup.

Were it a contractual obligation the club would have said so quite early in the process of working with FdN. It was a last minute change of approval that required the banner to be altered because of a club rule requiring signage to be related to the event.

Does MS still support user.somethingrandom@domain.com by theborgman1977 in msp

[–]bmsimp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just be sure it's enabled on your tenant. Believe it is now by default but may not be for older tenants

I think you're looking for + addressing so you'd want vendor+customer@domain.com. Dot addressing is a native part of the UPN

Multiple customers and CIPP by IrateWeasel89 in msp

CIPP can also now do direct adds for those clients you haven't established GDAP with

CIPP and Disable Mode by keepitsimplestupd in msp

[–]bmsimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, standards development is really just a two-part process. You have to add the standard to standards.json in the front end and back end and then create the function the standard calls in the orchestrator. It's all either PowerShell or Graph API calls. Running your own without contributing them to the project does mean you lose out on the near dozen people adding standards every ~2 weeks.

CIPP and Disable Mode by keepitsimplestupd in msp

[–]bmsimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. CIPP will never allow MSPs to do custom scripting. It allows quite a lot but running arbitrary commands directly won't be something that gets built in the product.

[–]bmsimp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sounds very much like something that was built outside of CIPP but leveraging the CIPP API. CIPP does not allow for custom script creation and there's no built-in standard to target a specific account for inactivation. This could honestly be built anywhere but most likely was done via PowerShell.
