The SharePoint site owner is responsible for the configuration and maintenance of their site, without having global Microsoft 365 tenant administration rights. It is a pivotal role in organizations using SharePoint for their teams and projects. The SharePoint owner training delivers these skills in one intensive day.
The course places significant focus on the visual and structural configuration of the SharePoint site. Main navigation, quick links, layout, graphic theme, logo, custom homepage. These elements give identity to the site and ease daily use by the team.
The most delicate topic for an owner is permissions management. The course details SharePoint groups (visitors, members, owners), authorization levels (read, modify, full control), permissions inheritance and one-off exceptions.
The course covers advanced content structuring: creating libraries with custom columns, configuring filtered views, using content types to standardize metadata, configuring versioning and check-out.
A SharePoint site owner can configure alerts (notification when a document is modified) and simple workflows (document approval, request validation). The course shows how to configure them without entering Power Automate.
The SharePoint owner training is designed for team leaders, project managers, quality managers, IT support and any profile managing a SharePoint site daily. Good SharePoint user mastery is required.
