Descripción

On a SharePoint team site, the Owners group has the permission level Full Control. Microsoft Learn describes its members as "people who must be able to manage site permissions, settings, and appearance." On a team site connected to a Microsoft 365 group, the group owners become site owners.

A site administrator is a separate role: site administrators have full control of the site root and any subsites and can audit all site content. A site can have several site admins but only one primary administrator.

Microsoft's intranet governance guide notes that managing a site is often only a small part of a site owner's job, and that training for site owners should include the organization's policies and guidelines. With SharePoint Advanced Management, Microsoft offers a site ownership policy, which defines who is responsible for each site, sets minimum owner or admin counts and automates notifications, and site attestation, a regular review by site owners of whether the site is needed, who its owners and members are, and its permissions and sharing settings. Site access reviews let administrators hand reports on overshared sites to site owners for review.
