You need to notify the manager of the human resources department when a user in the department shares a file or folder from the department's Microsoft SharePoint site. What should you do?

Alerts created directly from a SharePoint site are typically for content changes or new items, not for granular sharing activities, and cannot automatically notify external users or managers.

To be notified of specific sharing activities and trigger alerts for management, an alert policy needs to be configured in the Microsoft Defender portal, specifically under Audit or Alert policies. This allows for custom alerts based on audit events like sharing a file or folder.

Modifying sharing settings in the SharePoint admin center controls *how* sharing can occur but does not provide a mechanism to notify specific individuals when sharing *occurs*.

Configuring SharePoint organization settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center is for global SharePoint settings and does not offer a specific feature for creating activity-based alerts to notify a manager.
