Emergency policy exclusion removed during tenant cleanup

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

A policy cleanup removed a critical exclusion and now an admin-only path is blocked.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Use sign-in logs and policy history to confirm exactly when the exclusion disappeared.
  2. Restore the minimum necessary access path first, then review the broader cleanup change.
  3. Test the emergency account or group after remediation while the incident is still fresh.
  4. Record the control in governance notes so it is not pruned again as apparent clutter.

Technician Notes

Document what changed, what confirmed the fix, and whether the issue points to a broader standards gap worth addressing for the client.
