AFFIRMATIC

Govern user accounts, shared mailboxes, meeting rooms, and directory resources with lifecycle discipline.

M365 administration extends beyond Teams and guests. Affirmatic Identity & Resource Management brings governance to the resources that power your organization.

Powered by the Affirmatic Governance Framework

Four governance pillars keep every module aligned. Expand each pillar to see what it delivers.

Ownership

Ensure every workspace, guest, and resource has clear ownership, escalation paths, and audit-ready accountability.

  • Designated owners are assigned at creation.
  • Ownership gaps trigger escalation workflows.
  • Ownership changes are fully audited.

Lifecycle

Automate expiry, renewal, archiving, and cleanup to prevent sprawl and maintain security over time.

  • Expiry policies align with business needs.
  • Owners receive renewal prompts before expiry.
  • Actions are configurable: archive, lock, or delete.

Request approval

Route creation and access changes through governed workflows with the right approvers and audit trails.

  • Approval chains align with risk and sensitivity.
  • Requests create full audit records.
  • Self-service is enabled with guardrails.

Templates

Standardize provisioning with templates for naming, metadata, sensitivity labels, and policy enforcement.

  • Naming and metadata standards are enforced at creation.
  • Templates apply policies consistently across object types.
  • Templates are versioned and governed.
