Next up, let's talk about managing site
creation in SharePoint Online. By default,
self site creation is enabled in
SharePoint Online, which is really nice
for user's, but scares a lot of
administrators due to the possible site's
sprawl problems. By default, users can
create communication sites, as well as
group‑connected team sites from the
SharePoint home. So what options do we
have to control it? First of all, do we
want allow users to create new sites or
not? We can completely disabled that
option if we want to. Otherwise, if we
choose to allow it, we can choose under
which managed path to create them, either
sites or teams. Those are your only two
options. You cannot create additional
managed packs in SharePoint Online. You
can also set a default storage limit for
new sites, as well as the default time
zone. You also have the option to display
or hide classic SharePoint options in the
form, as well as require a secondary
contact. If you have a custom provisioning
process, you can also set up a form that
will be shown to users, but only if they
click the see more options, so it cannot
be set as default. Lastly, you can enable
or disable subset creation in your sites.
This can be a great way to ensure that
everyone uses the new modern information
architecture principles where we have
multiple sites connected to each other by
a hub principal, and we should not be
using sub‑sites. Something to remember is
that after you make changes in the admin
center, it might take a few hours until
those changes are visible in the user
interface, so don't stress out if you don't see it right away.
