What does it mean to defederate Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy?

Defederation removes GoDaddy’s administrative control from your Microsoft 365 account, giving your business full ownership and access to Microsoft’s features and security settings.

Why should I leave GoDaddy-managed Microsoft 365?

GoDaddy limits access to advanced Microsoft 365 settings and security features. Defederating gives you direct control, better flexibility, and stronger security.
