SharePoint Online Admin Center Simplifies

August 26, 2014

Microsoft is trying to simplify the Office 365 experience from all angles, but the latest SharePoint simplification focuses on the SharePoint Online admin center. Read all the details in the WinBeta article, “Simplified Office 365 Admin Experience Arrives for SharePoint Online Admin Center.”

The article begins:

“Microsoft has simplified the SharePoint Online admin center, as part of the company’s journey to simplify the Office 365 admin experience. You can now choose between a simple or advanced admin experience, control top navigation items, and block workflows from being used from your environment. The simple admin center experience displays only the essential options used in the most common scenarios. This includes site collection management, user profile management, and the main settings for external sharing, Information Rights Management, and more. The advanced admin center, on the other hand, offers access to all SharePoint Online management capabilities.”

The simplification is needed and welcome. However, using the admin center will still be far from intuitive. SharePoint is a huge infrastructure and tips, tricks, and workarounds are still greatly needed for most users and administrators. Stephen E. Arnold has dedicated his career to all things search, and reports his findings on ArnoldIT.com. His SharePoint feed is a great resource for those who are learning more about all angles of SharePoint.
