Why Users Will Receive the Action Required Email related with delegator account migration

Users may receive this notification due to the following reasons:

  1. User still uses delegator account for their SharePoint/OneDrive

    Users can check their services account in Administration Service Account page, if their SharePoint/OneDrive service account does not have the "Recreate access token" button, but have the "Migration available"" button, then they need to click the migration button to migrate their delegator account.

  2. IDCRL Retirement Plan

    According to Microsoft's IDCRL retirement plan, existing customers who have already set up Remote Event Receivers via basic authentication may be impacted since 2026.1.31.

  3. Action Required Notification & Warning banner

    To mitigate this impact, we have sent “Action Required” notifications and show warning banner in our web console to customers who still used delegator account for SharePoint/OneDrive, requesting them to migrate to access token.
