How to make onedrive read only with some exceptions?

RDJ - Raphaela Fabiana Monteiro C. T. dos Anjos 0

Dear all,

I'm using the followed command to turn onedrive read only:

Set-SPOSite https://xxxxxxxxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/xxxxxxxxxxx -LockState ReadOnly

It works properly, but once all folders are read only, users can not share archives through MS Teams, because, of course, "MS Teams Chat Archives" folder is also read only. The same situation happens with "Recorded Meetings" folder from MS Teams.

Does anyone know if there's a way to keep onedrive read only except these two folders? Maybe a power shell script...

Regards,

Raphaela

Per my research, there is no option to keep OneDrive site read only except two folders.

As a workaround, you could remove all users' permissions for this OneDrive site except these two folders, then the OneDrive site shows read only for users.

Thanks for your answer.

We are a company and I have to make this configuration for all users.

Do you know how can I do it?

I want to confirm whether you want to make one OneDrive site read only or all OneDrive sites read only?

Hi!!

I want to make all OneDrives sites read only (except the folders the users use to share archives (on MS Teams) and the one the meetings recorders are saved.

I need to do that because the company has an Electronic Document Management System and the users are not using it. So we are trying to "force" them to migrate the documents to the System.
