It is possible to create a sharepoint site with powershell?

Hi Everyone, Can somebody assist or advise please if it is possible to create a SharePoint site using just Powershell MS Graph and not using the API. All we can find so far is stuff using the API. We have managed to create Teams sites okay without using API's but cannot find any documentation for just using PowerShell/MS_Graph. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Jamie

I am going to throw at you another piece of terminology today. In the past, I explained to you the Hub Sites and SharePoint Start Page. Today I would like you to learn about SharePoint Home Site. If you are creating a corporate Intranet, you definitely will need to know about this. What is SharePoint Home Site? SharePoint Home Site is a new feature available in modern SharePoint that allows you to designate a given site as a Home Site for the whole SharePoint Intranet. By doing so, you formally label/authorize a site to be THE MAIN SITE of the portal. How is SharePoint Home Site different from Hub Site and SharePoint Start Page? SharePoint Start Page is an out of the box page that just tracks the sites you follow, regularly visit, etc. – more on this here. Hub Sites are clusters of sites you decide to bring under the same umbrella (navigation) – I describe all you need to know about Hub Sites in this article. SharePoint Home Site is a site (could be a Hub Site of your parent Intranet) that you manually designate as a formal MAIN site. It is a way to authorize and label the site for the benefit of other users so they can “trust” the content from this site. How to create a Home Site Important Notes first • You can only turn a Communication Site into a Home Site. You cannot turn any other type of site into a Home Site (i.e., Team Site). • You are only allowed to have 1 (one) Home Site at a time. • You cannot turn a Communication Site that is associated with a Hub into a Home ...

Cancel Create sp-dev-docs / docs / solution-guidance / modern-experience-customizations-provisioning-sites.md high Provisioning "modern" team sites programmatically "Modern" sites were introduced in SharePoint Online during the autumn of 2016, and the option to use them can be controlled at the tenant level. This article discusses the different options and considerations for provisioning "modern" sites in SharePoint Online. In particular, the article covers how to create both "modern" team sites and "modern" communication sites. [!IMPORTANT] We're not deprecating the "classic" experience; both "classic" and "modern" will coexist. Comparing "modern" team sites and "modern" communication sites Before digging into the details about how to provision "modern" sites, let's discuss a little bit about the two main flavors available: team sites and communication sites. A "modern" team site is a place where a group of people can work together, collaborate, and share documents and messages. Every "modern" team site has a backing Microsoft 365 group to improve the overall collaboration experience. In fact, thanks to the Microsoft 365 group, members of the team can benefit from services such as Planner, a shared Calendar, a shared OneDrive for Business storage, and custom Office 365 co...

Good afternoon, I hope to get some advice on how to tackle the following task: I’ve automated the provisioning of SharePoint websites and the user can request a website using a PowerApps form. On the form, they can also select their desired security level for their website. Once they selected their desired level of security and clicked the request button, the flow runs and creates a SharePoint site using a PowerShell script. What I would like to do now is to create data loss prevention policies (DLP) in Security & Compliance Center in advance and automatically add newly created SharePoint sites to the right DLP policy based on the user’s preferred security level chosen in the PowerApps form. Is it even possible to automate this process with PowerShell? So far my research is pointing towards a "No". Not sure if it meets your requirement but it is supported to create and modify a DLP policy using PowerShell. Here is a PowerShell example that a DLP policy named GlobalPolicy for the specified SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business locations: New-DlpCompliancePolicy -Name "GlobalPolicy" -Comment "Primary policy" -SharePointLocation "https://my.url","https://my.url2" -OneDriveLocation "https://my.url3","https://my.url4" -Mode Enable And this example adds the specified URLs to the SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business locations for the DLP policy named Main PII without affecting the existing URL values: Set-DlpCompliancePolicy -Identity "Main PII" -AddSharePointLocatio...
