What Is GoDaddy Defederation?
Defederation is the process of breaking a Microsoft 365 tenant’s tie to GoDaddy—freeing your domain and licensing management. It gives you complete control through Microsoft's native interfaces and tooling.
With this service, you will:
- Prepare end users for login changes and password resets.
- Become your own Global Admin, meaning no need to request access from GoDaddy.
- Use PowerShell to convert your domain authentication from federated to managed.
- Reset or bulk update user passwords securely.
- Transfer subscriptions either directly to Microsoft or via CSP seamlessly.
- Remove GoDaddy’s delegated admin role and ensure safe cancellation of services.
