Secure SharePoint Sites

Access your Secure SharePoint Site using one of these methods:

1. Direct URL
   1. When your Secure SharePoint site is created, the requestor will be provided with a URL linking directly to the site. You can bookmark this URL; it will look similar to this: https://falconbgsu.sharepoint.com/sites/O365-Secure-AXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
2. Add to OneDrive Quick Access
   1. From the Secure SharePoint Site, select Documents. 
   2. Select Add shortcut to OneDrive.
   3. Select Pin to Quick access. 
   4. The site will now be displayed in the OneDrive Quick Access section located in the OneDrive left navigation menu.
   5. Select the Pin icon next to the Secure SharePoint Site name to pin it. 

Secure Sharepoint Sites are intentionally set differently than regular SharePoint Sites in order to replace the previously use PGP Netshare secure file storage location. Access is configured so that all users have Site Visitor permissions, which prohibits the ability to configure the Site.  Users can view who currently has visitor access by following these steps:

1. From the Secure SharePoint Site, select Settings in the top right corner. 
2. Select Site permissions. 
3. Expand the Site visitors list to view who has access. 

• Secure SharePoint Sites are part of the Microsoft Cloud.
• Each site has its own Recycle Bin, just like a desktop PC.
• Microsoft Cloud is configured to delete items in the Recycle Bin after 93 days.
• After items are removed from the recycle bin they are not recoverable.

**It is recommended that users do not empty their Recycle Bin order to maintain 93 days of backup, in case of accidental deletions.
