Municipal courts want to find sites with too many Everyone links before a Copilot expansion. Which SharePoint reporting approach fits?

Municipal courts that must find sites with too many Everyone links before a Copilot expansion should run a data access governance report to identify sites with excessive Everyone or broad sharing patterns. DAG reporting gives an admin-level view of sharing sprawl so courts can remediate before Copilot makes overshared content more discoverable in everyday work.

Reviewing the Compliance Manager assessment to identify sites with excessive Everyone or broad sharing patterns fails here: that assessment tracks policy and improvement action status, not actual SharePoint sharing patterns or Everyone links on specific sites. Running a SharePoint external sharing report to identify sites with excessive Everyone or broad sharing patterns will not produce authoritative DAG output: external sharing reports track sharing outside the organization, not internal Everyone links or broad internal sharing patterns. Running a SharePoint site usage report to identify sites with excessive Everyone or broad sharing patterns fails to catch Everyone-link sprawl: site usage tracks visits and content activity, not actual sharing links or Everyone access.

Exam caveat: Pair DAG identification with remediation (remove broad links, tighten groups) and optionally SharePoint Advanced Management controls. DAG finds the problem; a Compliance Manager assessment, an external sharing report, or a site usage report alone is not a substitute for it. AB-900 frames DAG reports as the way to spot excessive Everyone/broad sharing ahead of Copilot growth.

Operational check: Run the DAG report across court site collections, filter or sort for Everyone/Anyone-heavy sites, create a remediation backlog with site owners, remove or replace broad links with court-security groups, re-run DAG, and gate Copilot expansion on clearance of high-risk sites listed in the report.
