Now that we know what modern site
architecture looks like, let's start
looking at how to manage sites, and let's
first start by looking at how to create
sites. Creating a site can either be done
via the Admin Center or PowerShell. Some
of the information you will need are the
title, the site address, or URL, language,
the template you want to create the site
in, the primary site administrator, the
time zone, and the storage quota. Let's
also talk a bit about this site
administrators. Site administrator gives
you full access to the site, including
content, permissions, and features. Each
SharePoint site has only one primary
administrator, but other users can be
added as administrators with the same
permissions as the primary one, but really
only one of them can be that one primary
owner or administrator. The template
choices, and we're only going to talk
about modern since that's where SharePoint
is going, we first have the Team Site
connected to an Office 365 group that can
only be created via the PnP PowerShell
module for SharePoint and the template ID
is TeamSite. For Communication Sites, the
PowerShell template ID is
SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0, and Team Site not
connected to an Office 365 group can be
created with the STS#3 template. To create
sites from the Admin Center, simply go
into the Active Sites tab and click on
Create, and you'll have two big options
shown. As you can see on the screen, Team
Site, which is a group connected Team
Site, and Communication Site. If you want
to create a non‑group connected Team Site
or a classic site, you will need to go
into the other options on the bottom. Now
let's talk a bit about PowerShell. First,
let's start with the Team Site not
connected to an Office 365 group. We would
use the new SPOSite PowerShell cmdlet,
give the URL that we want to create the
site at, primary owner, title, template,
storage quota in megabytes, and we use the
STS#3 template that we have talked about
before. About the storage quota, we will
cover how SharePoint online storage is
managed later in this course, but for now,
the storage quota is in megabytes, so I'm
giving a 10 GB storage quota for this
site. However, if your storage is managed
in automatic mode, this will not be taken
into consideration, but it's a mandatory
parameter for the PowerShell cmdlet.
Again, don't worry too much about storage
yet, as we'll really cover it a lot more
in depth later in this course. To create a
Communication Site with PowerShell, it's
the same procedure. Simply change the
template to the Communication Site
template. Now, if you want to do a new
Team Site connected to an Office 365
group, we have to use PnP PowerShell
module and then use the new PnP site
PowerShell cmdlet, and the type would be
Team Site. Give it a title and an alias,
which would be the male alias for that
group, and, of course, also used in the
URL of the SharePoint site. Remember that
you can create other types of sites with
PnP. For example, if I wanted to create a
modern Communication Site with PnP
PowerShell, I would use the new PnP site
PowerShell cmdlet. The type of site would
be Communication Site, and I could even
choose one of the three site design
options from here, and, in this case, I will choose the Showcase one.
