Frequently asked questions

What does lifecycle management cover in Rencore Governance?

The operations dashboard gives you an overview of your platform services' lifecycles and operational status across Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, Viva Engage and the Power Platform. Prebuilt Checks refine and enforce the policies behind it.

How do I find out when a business-critical service breaks?

Through notifications. Rencore Governance emails you and the service owner when a policy is violated or a process breaks, with rules for consent lost, errors in an automation, and automation thresholds. Each rule can notify all owners, all admins, or named recipients.

Can lifecycle actions be automated?

Can I report on operations to stakeholders?
