Prerequisites
Hello and welcome to Customer Lockbox.
As you would expect, Microsoft engineers are often called upon to troubleshoot and fix issues with various Microsoft 365 services and offerings. While they can usually fix such issues using their telemetry and debugging tools, there are times where a Microsoft engineer needs to access your content to troubleshoot an issue. This is where Customer Lockbox fits in.
Customer Lockbox requires the engineer to request access to your content as a step in the troubleshooting workflow. In other words, Customer Lockbox allows you to approve or deny any request to access your organization’s content. This ensures that Microsoft can't access your content to perform troubleshooting operations unless you’ve provided explicit approval.
I should mention that Customer Lockbox supports requests to access data in Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business. To use Customer Lockbox, you need one of the licenses that you see on your screen.
In the next lesson, I’ll explain the process for creating a Customer Lockbox request.
