 Raju says, my friend wants to delegate tasks to me, but be based in Europe and I will have to access his company account which is on Microsoft 365 from Pakistan. How should I do this? Can it create problems for my friend who is delegating me the tasks? Which tasks? Which application? Is always a good question because are we talking planner? Are we talking lists that we're talking to do? Are we talking outlook as a delegate? Are we talking, I need to take their phone calls and I'm a delegate. There's a lot of places that you could be, what kind of a task are we doing? Power automated approval tasks. Yeah, there's so many different applications that that could arise from, it's a difficult one. Well, he says, I will have to access his company account. That's what I was thinking about. Red flag, red flag, red flag. You need to not be giving your financials to anybody else. That's like a number one rule of Microsoft. There are a number of integrations that, again, we don't know what type of task he's talking about, but there are third-party tools that can go to automate to pull things out and through third-party tools move tasks across. So yeah, my red flag is the exact same thing. It's like accessing his company account. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that his company would not approve of someone outside the company being delegated tasks. Now, if it's tasks, if it's things that are community related, still you should not be accessing somebody. Sorry, I feel like such as school teachers, like you should not be doing that. It's his friend, Christian. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Who's his friend? My friend should be in quotation marks. Will he do my tasks too? Accessing his tasks in Pakistan with the same account. Do I think it's going to create, it says, will it create problems for my friend who is delegated? I'm guessing your company is going to notice if your friend's M365 account is being accessed in a different country. I'm pretty sure that's going to raise some red flags for sure. I mean, if they're talking, they've got their own personal accounts. Like, if we think of it like they've just gone into a retailer, they've got their license, they're at home and he's just going to help them out a little bit. And then so one's got a personal and one's got a corporate license because it's talking company account. Then you're at cross purposes immediately. So unless you're creating them the friend as an actual corporate user inside and they've got their own license and assigned and then no, don't do it across the two. It's not going to work. The other thing is a lot of security admins will put policies in place to restrict users accessing content outside of their country, their home country. And so often it will definitely flag. So a security person will be able to see that and often it will cut them off. So if somebody did use that account in a different country and there's a policy in place for that, it'll actually shut their account down and it'll notify the security person so that then they can go find out, hey, wait, is this person being phished or scammed or is there something bad happening? So if you are going to do this legitimately and let's put on the assumption of a good hat and let's say that we're going to be working together and we just want to make sure it's going to work across country lines, I would definitely reach out to your security admin and say, hey, I'm going to be working with this person in another country. I want to make sure they're included in our policy. Can you make sure it's set up properly to make sure that your account is going to be able to you be used in the right way, in the right countries and you're not going to get some policy that's going to cause a problem. And there's a level of effort when you involve the administrator. And so, Christie, you kind of alluded to it. There's low hanging fruit. Microsoft Office, one of the best kept secrets of the task list in Microsoft Office, there's a little button that says assign task and that person does not have to be in your organization. You create the task for yourself and outlook, you assign it to them, there's check marks on there for, I want to be updated if anything on this change and it synchronizes the changes and you know what you make every update, you put them in those, that's an easy way. If you don't involve the administrator and have to go through all of the Federation and all that or get somebody to count, use Outlook and send a task to them. Although I will point out Sherri Outlook tasks are essentially moving to to-do. So in the newest version, you know, that's going away. I'm going to have to rip it out of my cold dead hands. But are you still able to assign that? So it's, well again, and there are third-party tools that allow you to move those across. So depending on what you're trying to do, but either one other point I would make that the other issue of working with somebody, let's say you were in the same company, but you know, working between the two different accounts and logging as your friend, which is a no-no, but even if you could do it, like, hey, I could physically, I could go and do that, there's still MFA, which is likely in place. It's like, what are you going to do when it then calls your buddy's phone to verify that it's you? I mean, so every company in the world is now rolling out if they've not already they should, you know, MFA, and that will throw another wrinkle into that problem. So you need to look at a long-term solution, not try to go in and log in as your buddy in their work account to get access to things. There are plenty of other ways of solving it, technically. So what about just join a Teams meeting together and give control of your computer to the other person? That is a choice you can make. Assuming you don't have to do other tasks on said computer at the same time. Yep. And assuming that you're not in a GCC environment that prevents that from happening. There's no policies on your calls and your sharing controls and things like that. Maybe you could do a team and they're an external party and invite them in if it's allowed, you know, within your organization and you collaborate inside a team together when you could be doing tasks and all sorts of things, you know? Got for bed. So, you know, depends. The whole friend thing might be the, it depends, are they a friend that's actually living in the corporate world? You know, maybe he's a virtual assistant and helping out. I'll just say that if a friend asked me to go and log into his company, I would say they're no real friend. Right, no friend of mine. Maybe they're paying you to do their job for them. I was wondering how long it'd take us to get to that. That was the first thing I thought of. We were all thinking that the first thing. I had a potential client that wanted me to do exactly that. It was a, the potential client was an oil company in Texas that needed an American citizen to own the computer, but they had developers in like Columbia. And so my job would literally be to turn on the computer, join the meeting and hand over control to the developers. And then the developers in Columbia would do all of the development on my computer and my name for the Texas oil company. Not risky at all. No. No, hey, we did, I did something very similar to this a long time ago. Using this basically like tunneling into but doing the same thing and handing over control to let them do certain things. And it, I mean, it was a legit reason for that, but it was a highly secure on both sides with very specific tasks around it. So not trying to mock people where that's an actual scenario. Right. This doesn't sound like that case. It sounds completely legit, completely legit. All I know is that they made a mistake and accidentally gave me $500 into my bank account. So I had to give them access so that they could move their $500 back. And in return, they'd pay me a small fee for fixing the problem. So. And you're getting married next week in Nairobi, right? The prince is coming to help you. All I say is when the crown prince of Wakanda asks for your help, you help. Wakanda for everyone.
