What's SharePoint Security Sync?
SharePoint Security Sync is an enterprise-grade, Microsoft Certified security automation app designed to eliminate permission inconsistencies between Dynamics 365 CRM and SharePoint. It automatically replicates the Dynamics 365 security model, including users, teams, roles, and privileges, into SharePoint, ensuring that document access is always aligned with CRM record-level permissions.
By removing manual permission management, SharePoint Security Sync reduces the risk of unauthorized access, supports governance and compliance initiatives, and allows IT teams to maintain centralized security control without increasing administrative effort.

Here’s How It Enhances the Security of SharePoint Document Management
SharePoint Security Sync ensures that any change made to users, teams, or security roles in Dynamics 365 is automatically reflected in SharePoint. This guarantees consistent document-level security, removes the need for manual permission updates, and reduces the risk of accidental data exposure.
Security privileges are continuously synchronized between Dynamics 365 and SharePoint, even in complex security setups. Updates to roles, teams, or user access in CRM are instantly enforced in SharePoint, ensuring governance remains intact across both platforms.
Easily manage and update Dynamics 365 security roles to match your business needs, with real-time sync to SharePoint. As records are shared or assigned, access permissions are automatically updated, ensuring secure, role-based document access without manual effort.
Custom Folder Structure
Create structured, business-aligned folder hierarchies that support daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly organization. This approach improves document accessibility, overcomes SharePoint’s 5,000-item limit, and ensures secure, scalable document management without compromising performance or compliance.
