[Autogenerated] Hello and welcome to the

2
00:00:03,970 --> 00:00:06,960
SharePoint Online administration playbook.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,370
Course. My name is Vlad caret UNESCO, and

4
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:13,340
I'll be your instructor for this course.

5
00:00:13,340 --> 00:00:16,620
In this module, we will learn how to lock

6
00:00:16,620 --> 00:00:20,100
and unlock SharePoint sites. Well, first,

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,860
look at why is this useful? And when

8
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:25,520
locking and unlocking SharePoint sites

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,770
make sense for the SharePoint admin, and

10
00:00:28,770 --> 00:00:32,390
finally we will learn how to actually get

11
00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:36,590
it done. So let's start. Why would we want

12
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:39,340
to do this? What's the business case

13
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:41,900
locking Abshire prints. IT allows you to

14
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:45,090
make the sight read only or completely

15
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:48,880
blocking access to a site. A good example

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,070
could be a project site that you want to

17
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:54,390
keep as an archive, but make sure it's in

18
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:57,600
read only mode so nobody can modify,

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,490
upload or delete documents. As for

20
00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:03,780
blocking people from a site, you could

21
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:06,410
have, for example, an old board or

22
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:08,840
committee site that shouldn't be access

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,500
anymore, but you want to keep it there

24
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,740
hidden for compliance or other reasons,

25
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:23,000
and being able to remake it accessible very quickly.
