1
00:00:02,021 --> 00:00:04,217
Now that we've seen the theory, let's go

2
00:00:04,217 --> 00:00:06,052
to the lab and take a look at the

3
00:00:06,052 --> 00:00:11,172
SharePoint Online admin center in the demo

4
00:00:11,172 --> 00:00:13,232
environment. Okay, we're now in the demo

5
00:00:13,232 --> 00:00:15,240
environment and let me open up Edge over

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,046
here where I'm simply logged in, into

7
00:00:18,046 --> 00:00:21,298
office.com that you can simply access by

8
00:00:21,298 --> 00:00:26,006
going to portal.office .com or directly to

9
00:00:26,006 --> 00:00:27,973
office.com and because I'm an

10
00:00:27,973 --> 00:00:30,554
administrator, I have the admin icon over

11
00:00:30,554 --> 00:00:34,002
here, which will bring me to the Microsoft

12
00:00:34,002 --> 00:00:37,468
365 admin center. Now depending on the

13
00:00:37,468 --> 00:00:40,048
permissions that you have, you're going to

14
00:00:40,048 --> 00:00:43,711
see different things on this dashboard and

15
00:00:43,711 --> 00:00:46,759
in the navigation. Right now, it doesn't

16
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:48,708
actually show me all of the navigation so

17
00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:52,563
I'll just click on Show All. This way we

18
00:00:52,563 --> 00:00:55,934
see everything and I have to go to the

19
00:00:55,934 --> 00:00:59,004
bottom in order to see the admin centers.

20
00:00:59,004 --> 00:01:01,602
And again here, it will not even show me

21
00:01:01,602 --> 00:01:04,048
all of the admin centers. If we want to

22
00:01:04,048 --> 00:01:07,801
see all of them, we have to go to All

23
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:11,114
admin centers. Here again, depending your

24
00:01:11,114 --> 00:01:12,708
permissions, you'll see all of the

25
00:01:12,708 --> 00:01:14,905
different admin centers you have access

26
00:01:14,905 --> 00:01:19,937
to, and let's go to SharePoint. The URL of

27
00:01:19,937 --> 00:01:21,580
the SharePoint admin center will always be

28
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:24,953
made up of the name of your tenant so

29
00:01:24,953 --> 00:01:27,942
globomantics.org - admin.sharepoint .com.

30
00:01:27,942 --> 00:01:30,754
And you can access it that way if you're

31
00:01:30,754 --> 00:01:33,610
ever in a SharePoint site so I'm just

32
00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:35,758
giving you a small trick here. Let's say

33
00:01:35,758 --> 00:01:37,588
I'm in a SharePoint site on the SharePoint

34
00:01:37,588 --> 00:01:40,541
home here, and I want to get to the admin

35
00:01:40,541 --> 00:01:43,404
quickly, I just delete the rest, add a

36
00:01:43,404 --> 00:01:46,322
-admin over here, and it'll bring me to

37
00:01:46,322 --> 00:01:49,549
the SharePoint Online admin center, or you

38
00:01:49,549 --> 00:01:51,942
can of course save it to your bookmarks or

39
00:01:51,942 --> 00:01:55,231
to your favorites. Now as we are on the

40
00:01:55,231 --> 00:01:57,734
front page of the SharePoint Online admin

41
00:01:57,734 --> 00:02:00,625
center, you'll see I have the files by

42
00:02:00,625 --> 00:02:03,581
activity type, total, and active sites, as

43
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:05,915
well as information about the message

44
00:02:05,915 --> 00:02:08,664
center and service health, but we'll cover

45
00:02:08,664 --> 00:02:11,398
the message center and service help later

46
00:02:11,398 --> 00:02:14,653
in this course. Now what do we have, what

47
00:02:14,653 --> 00:02:17,300
are we able to do? First of all, I'm able

48
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,582
to see the active sites, which are all of

49
00:02:19,582 --> 00:02:21,868
the different sites or site collections

50
00:02:21,868 --> 00:02:25,349
inside my tenant. I can see the site

51
00:02:25,349 --> 00:02:29,398
collection recycle bin. I have access to

52
00:02:29,398 --> 00:02:32,563
sharing policies, access control policies,

53
00:02:32,563 --> 00:02:34,881
auto tenant settings such as site storage

54
00:02:34,881 --> 00:02:39,160
limits, site creation. I also have access

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,336
to API management. We'll cover all of

56
00:02:42,336 --> 00:02:45,675
those details in this course so that way

57
00:02:45,675 --> 00:02:48,145
I'm going over them quickly. Something

58
00:02:48,145 --> 00:02:50,622
that's really important is that some of

59
00:02:50,622 --> 00:02:52,544
the things that I mentioned that you can

60
00:02:52,544 --> 00:02:54,818
do from the admin center such as user

61
00:02:54,818 --> 00:02:58,608
profiles, taxonomy, and search are not in

62
00:02:58,608 --> 00:03:01,917
the main navigation. That is because at

63
00:03:01,917 --> 00:03:04,009
the time of recording this course in

64
00:03:04,009 --> 00:03:06,732
September 2019, Microsoft is working on

65
00:03:06,732 --> 00:03:09,557
the new version of the admin center, and

66
00:03:09,557 --> 00:03:12,406
what I'm showing you right now is the new

67
00:03:12,406 --> 00:03:15,594
version of it; however, not all of the

68
00:03:15,594 --> 00:03:17,741
management features have made it in the

69
00:03:17,741 --> 00:03:19,904
new version of the admin center, so

70
00:03:19,904 --> 00:03:23,119
Microsoft put them in the classic

71
00:03:23,119 --> 00:03:26,392
features. Now I personally disagree with

72
00:03:26,392 --> 00:03:28,633
calling this classic, because it might

73
00:03:28,633 --> 00:03:30,772
cause confusion between classic SharePoint

74
00:03:30,772 --> 00:03:33,798
and modern SharePoint and a lot of those

75
00:03:33,798 --> 00:03:36,113
features also work with modern SharePoint,

76
00:03:36,113 --> 00:03:39,922
but this is where they are. So here I can

77
00:03:39,922 --> 00:03:42,558
manage my manage method, my term store,

78
00:03:42,558 --> 00:03:45,713
user profile, search, apps, and I can even

79
00:03:45,713 --> 00:03:49,086
go into more classic features where I can

80
00:03:49,086 --> 00:03:51,613
manage business connectivity services,

81
00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:54,018
secure store, records management,

82
00:03:54,018 --> 00:03:56,684
InfoPath, as well as have access to the

83
00:03:56,684 --> 00:03:59,537
hybrid picker, and the classic site

84
00:03:59,537 --> 00:04:03,762
collection page. As time goes by, and

85
00:04:03,762 --> 00:04:06,623
hopefully in the next few months or years,

86
00:04:06,623 --> 00:04:09,383
some of those user interfaces will get

87
00:04:09,383 --> 00:04:12,091
revamped and will get integrated part of

88
00:04:12,091 --> 00:04:14,790
the main navigation of the new admin

89
00:04:14,790 --> 00:04:17,904
center, but it might take a while so if

90
00:04:17,904 --> 00:04:20,037
you're not finding what you're looking

91
00:04:20,037 --> 00:04:22,639
for, make sure that you go into classic

92
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:25,543
features, and remember to click that View

93
00:04:25,543 --> 00:04:28,285
All button, because Microsoft sometimes

94
00:04:28,285 --> 00:04:31,903
puts them in there. This is it for the

95
00:04:31,903 --> 00:04:34,165
introduction to the admin center and how

96
00:04:34,165 --> 00:04:36,613
you get there. Throughout this course,

97
00:04:36,613 --> 00:04:39,695
we're really going to learn how to use it

98
00:04:39,695 --> 00:04:42,270
from creating, deleting sites, managing

99
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:45,528
external sharing and access control,

100
00:04:45,528 --> 00:04:48,218
managing site creation and storage, as

101
00:04:48,218 --> 00:04:51,359
well as managing all of the other services

102
00:04:51,359 --> 00:04:55,093
like user profiles, taxonomy, and search,

103
00:04:55,093 --> 00:04:58,437
but for this demo, we really wanted to

104
00:04:58,437 --> 00:05:02,061
concentrate on how to get to the

105
00:05:02,061 --> 00:05:05,055
SharePoint Online admin center. Now that

106
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:06,911
we know how to get there using the UI,

107
00:05:06,911 --> 00:05:09,552
let's go back to the slides and talk about

108
00:05:09,552 --> 00:05:16,000
how we can connect to SharePoint Online by using PowerShell.
