No admin for Sharepoint site
Hi all!
I just created a new Sharepoint site and directly added 3 other admins. Strangly when I am in the Sharepoint site, I only see 3 members (not me included) and those 3 are members and not admins. So actually nobody is an admin, which is very unhandy and strange.
Does someone know what I should do?
Thank you in advance
Louis
Hereby some screens of the situation (sorry its in dutch: leden=members, lid=member)
This issue might be due to permissions not being applied correctly in SharePoint or the specific type of site you created not granting default administrative permissions as expected.
Go to the Office 365 Admin Center or SharePoint Admin Center and navigate to the list of SharePoint sites. Find your site, and check the members and their roles there. Often, permissions set in SharePoint may not immediately reflect on the site until they're updated centrally
Go to the SharePoint Admin Center and locate the site.
Manually add yourself as an admin. (Check if the role reflects correctly on the site after doing this)
If you have access to PowerShell, you can try using it to add yourself as an admin to the site:
Connect-SPOService -Url https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com
Set-SPOUser -Site https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite -LoginName "email address removed for privacy reasons" -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $true
also:
Clear Browser Cache
Wait for Propagation (Permissions changes sometimes take a bit of time to propagate across all services in SharePoint Online)
