Syntax
Set-SPORestrictedSiteCreation
[-Enabled <Boolean>]
[-Mode <RestrictedSiteCreationMode>]
[-SiteType <RestrictedSiteCreationSiteType>]
[-RestrictedSiteCreationGroups <String>]
Description
This cmdlet sets or updates the configuration or setting for the Restricted Site Creation feature.
Important
You must use version 16.0.25513.12000 (published November 2024) or later of the SharePoint Online Management Shell for these commands to function properly. Earlier versions do not have the current list of site types and will not operate correctly.
Examples
Example 1
Set-SPORestrictedSiteCreation -Enabled:$true
Example 1 enables the restricted site creation feature for the tenant.
Example 2
Set-SPORestrictedSiteCreation -Mode Allow
Example 2 sets restricted site creation to allow mode. In this mode, a user is only able to create a site if they are a member of a group specified for a matching site type.
Example 3
Set-SPORestrictedSiteCreation -SiteType "All" -RestrictedSiteCreationGroups "281e395b-7316-4cb2-b5bb-8881426ee411"
Example 3 updates the policy for the All
site type to apply to members of the Microsoft Entra security group with ID 281e395b-7316-4cb2-b5bb-8881426ee411. Members of this group are now either allowed or denied (depending on the current mode) from creating all OneDrive and SharePoint sites.
Example 4
Set-SPORestrictedSiteCreation -SiteType "Team" -RestrictedSiteCreationGroups "78159241-04a9-41d2-8dd4-ac568e9766a3,1f95829b-e1c8-4406-b2be-508c36f4bca5"
Example 4 updates the policy for the Team
site type to apply to members of the two specified groups. Members of both specified security groups are now either allowed or denied from creating Team sites, depending on the current mode.
Example 5
Set-SPORestrictedSiteCreation -SiteType "OneDrive" -RestrictedSiteCreationGroups ""
Example 5 clears the policy for the OneDrive
site type so that it no longer applies to any users.
