Determining where the SharePoint sites associated with Teams teams are created
MaryHill This is regarding to all "Team Sites". Not specifically Microsoft Teams sites, but also regular SharePoint sites as well. This setting changes the default location for all new SharePoint Sites as well.
Beau Cameron many thanks for responding so quickly.
This Microsoft document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepoint/manage-site-creation implies that it's a setting for Microsoft 365 group-connected team sites
I understand in SharePoint when creating a new SP site there are three options:
- A Communication site
- A team site without an Office 365 group
- A team site connected to an Office 365 group
My organisation create SP team sites without an Office 365 group (since we migrated from SharePoint on prem).
I guess that when you create a SP team site connected to an Office 365 group manually you can specify the url as you can do when you a classic SP site, i.e. a SP team site without an Office 365 group.
But SP sites which are created when MS Teams Teams are created, appear to be created automatically, so is this setting to only place you can effect the location, .../sites or .../teams?
MaryHill Yes. SharePoint Online supports two managed paths. /sites and /teams. /Sites is the default for SharePoint Environments. The option to use /Teams as the default as you are thinking about, is a great way to make the sites associated with Microsoft Teams to be created under /Teams. This is the only place it can be configured.
