00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:05,020
Next up, let's talk about managing site

2
00:00:05,020 --> 00:00:08,600
creation in SharePoint Online. By default,

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,300
self site creation is enabled in

4
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:13,460
SharePoint Online, which is really nice

5
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:16,240
for user's, but scares a lot of

6
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:19,170
administrators due to the possible site's

7
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:23,315
sprawl problems. By default, users can

8
00:00:23,315 --> 00:00:25,390
create communication sites, as well as

9
00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:27,880
group‑connected team sites from the

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,270
SharePoint home. So what options do we

11
00:00:31,270 --> 00:00:34,480
have to control it? First of all, do we

12
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,440
want allow users to create new sites or

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,360
not? We can completely disabled that

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,230
option if we want to. Otherwise, if we

15
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:45,980
choose to allow it, we can choose under

16
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:48,860
which managed path to create them, either

17
00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:52,740
sites or teams. Those are your only two

18
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,210
options. You cannot create additional

19
00:00:55,210 --> 00:00:58,230
managed packs in SharePoint Online. You

20
00:00:58,230 --> 00:01:00,710
can also set a default storage limit for

21
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:03,340
new sites, as well as the default time

22
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:06,910
zone. You also have the option to display

23
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:09,650
or hide classic SharePoint options in the

24
00:01:09,650 --> 00:01:12,310
form, as well as require a secondary

25
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:15,750
contact. If you have a custom provisioning

26
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:19,230
process, you can also set up a form that

27
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:21,860
will be shown to users, but only if they

28
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:24,930
click the see more options, so it cannot

29
00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:29,450
be set as default. Lastly, you can enable

30
00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:33,340
or disable subset creation in your sites.

31
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:35,490
This can be a great way to ensure that

32
00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:38,420
everyone uses the new modern information

33
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:40,810
architecture principles where we have

34
00:01:40,810 --> 00:01:43,340
multiple sites connected to each other by

35
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:45,770
a hub principal, and we should not be

36
00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:49,530
using sub‑sites. Something to remember is

37
00:01:49,530 --> 00:01:51,730
that after you make changes in the admin

38
00:01:51,730 --> 00:01:54,580
center, it might take a few hours until

39
00:01:54,580 --> 00:01:57,230
those changes are visible in the user

40
00:01:57,230 --> 00:02:04,000
interface, so don't stress out if you don't see it right away.
