Managed Paths in SharePoint Online
Jason Hunt I don't think it will be available in the near future. As Trevor said, Managed Path are related to Web Application and your tenant is sharing his Web Application with lots of other tenants.

Technically that makes sense, but logically it does not to me. I wish we could re-map our paths so they represent the security characteristics of our sites. For example, something like:
/intranet/ (internal publishing sites with read-only for all & edit for assigned staff)
/personal/ (self-service sites such as Microsoft Teams, Planner sites etc)
/extranet/ (for internal/external authenticated collaboration)
/teams/ (for internal, organizational collaboration sites)
/sensitive/ (CJIS, HIPAA, legal docs, budget)
/anonymous/ (for publishing)
Should be made easy to provide clarity.
Sure, I can understand the need here (and previously used it a lot for SP on premise), but as already said, I don't see it reasonable to have this new feature in SPO in the next months. The cloud having its limitation, we can't really have HNSC too :-)
Moreover, using this kind of classification directly in the Url may point to misunderstanding too. We all know that users may change the security, break some rules/guidelines/governance and then location of your site wont really match its current configuration/usage.
If you really need to have such separation, you can still prefix all your site collections' Url with anything you want, like: int- (for intranet), per- (for personal), etc.
- Site/classification labels are much more flexible for that specific use-case.
Thanks, I'll look into that as an option; I appreciate your tip.
I was thinking of namespaces that inherit certain properties, and are visible to people where they might expect to see what distinguishes one location from another.
