Help with finding Site owners

Hoping someone has a suggestion or perhaps can share how they are doing this today for their company.

 

I am looking for a way for our Help Desk to be able to find out the SharePoint site owner - so if someone is requesting access or needs to contact the owner, the help desk would be able to find that and share with the  requestor.  

 

I do not want to grant help desk elevated privileges. 

 

Is there a way to do this via PowerShell and having them be able to execute the script (that is run by a Service Account with SP admin access)?

 

Is there a third party tool that can do this (without granting access to all of SP Admin rights)?

 

Thanks!

Duane

    One solution for your scenario that I've used is to use Powerapps as the platform for your application. Powerapps allows you to create custom forms and logic without requiring high-level permissions from the user, which you can use to query for example Site Owner.

    You can also integrate PowerApps with other services such as flows, Powershellscripts (Runbook,Azure function etc), etc. to perform additional tasks or automate processes.

     

    I have used this approach with several clients and they were satisfied with the results. The application is usually also expanded and modified to include a lot more features and functionalities as the need grows.
