Quarantine Email Actions
When synchronizing and overbuild on existing items that are in quarantine, these are moved to the relevant hierarchy node associated with the user.
Automate will sync a high volume quarantine messages using the data collection capability. The data/DataModel called: "DataCollection" provides this lightweight collection of data from external sources.
Administrators can carry out a number or list and request actions:
A list view of quarantined email messages visible from the current hierarchy can be inspected and instances can be selected to request the message release.
Automate provides a staging area for requests (maintained in the data model: data/MicrosoftDefenderQuarantineMessageStaging).
An instance from this list can be selected, inspected and managed:
For example, administrators can select a message from this list and request the release of the quarantined email message so that it will have a State as PENDING:
