How to provide access to another user’s OneDrive

Here I will show you how to provide user access to another user’s OneDrive. You will need to have the Global Admin role for this.

  • Logon to Microsoft 365 admin center and select the SharePoint admin center
  • In the SharePoint admin center select More Features and Open the User Profiles
  • Select Manage User Profiles
  • Search for the user profile and select Manage site collection owners
  • Add the user requiring access under Site Collection Administrators and clock OK

Now we just need to provide the new user with the OneDrive link. To do this, we need to go back to Microsoft 365 Admin center and search for the user under Active users.

On the OneDrive tab click on Create Link to files
