How to Investigate a Sudden Change in Cloud Storage Sharing Permissions

A permission change may broaden access through a direct grant, group membership, public link, or inherited folder setting.

Checks to make

Preserve the audit event, identify actor and affected objects, compare with approved changes, and review access or downloads after the change. Revert unauthorized grants through a controlled process and check related folders for the same pattern.
