Auto Unmap OneDrive Synced site in Admin Console

Question

Intune and Group Policy provide a way to automap a SharePoint library to OneDrive. How do you use Intune and Group Policy to unmap/remove the library when a user's permissions are removed?
AKA - how to undo what was done

As seen here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/use-group-policy#configure-team-site-libraries-to-sync-automatically
If you disable this setting, team site libraries that you've specified aren't automatically synced for new users. Existing users can choose to stop syncing the libraries, but the libraries
won't stop syncing automatically.

I want to stop them from syncing automatically, as you should be able to as an admin.

Answer 1

So I understand it correctly, your solution is to delete a SharePoint library each time a member of a group is removed from the group that has access to that SharePoint library?

That is not a solution, especially in an enterprise environment.

The solution is for Microsoft to finish developing their half-finished OneDrive project to include the obvious ability to remove the SharePoint library from OneDrive once the user's permission is removed. This is a serious compliance and security issue.

Answer 2

Hi @SystemUser ,
When you finish configuring the automatic synchronization of the team site library. Even though you remove it from the policy, this just prevents adding it for new users. It doesn't remove it from the existing user's OneDrive settings.
So if we want to stop automatic synchronization, we can only start from the library level.
You can create a new library, use MoveTo to transfer all the files, and then delete the library that has been automatically synced.
I found a similar thread for you, you can refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/530877/remove-a-sharepoint-online-doc-library-from-onedri.html
