Site collection admin for Team private channel site collection
hunk0227 Correct. That's what I was explaining in my response.
So for each Private Channel , we create a SharePoint site collection. In order to get to Site collection Administrators page for this Private site collection, you need to Open the Private Channel site in SharePoint.
In my case, I created a private channel named "TestPrivate" under the Team "TestExcel"
- Now, I go to TestPrivate Channel and then click on 3 Dot icon on the top right to find "Open in SharePoint" option.
- The opens up my Private Site collection in browser like this and then I clicked on Home button to go to Home page of this Private Site collection.
- Now, I got to Home page of the Private Site collection https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/TestExcel-TestPrivate
- Now, to go to the site collection administration page of this Private Site Collection, I had to hit the URL https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/TestExcel-TestPrivate/_layouts/15/mngsiteadmin.aspx directly to get to this page.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I am understanding this incorrectly.
Microsofthunk0227 There doesn't seem to be straightforward way to get to this page. This is how you can get to it.
- In Teams client , go to your private Channel as Channel Owner and Use "Open in SharePoint" option which should open your Private Channel SharePoint site in a different browser window.
- Now, when you are in browser -> SharePoint site, it will be the Document Library page.
- First you want to go to Home page of the site to get the Site URL. It should be something like https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/Test_TestPrivate
- Then, You want to go to Site Collection administrators page directly via hitting something like https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/Test_TestPrivate/_layouts/15/mngsiteadmin.aspx
- where change the highlighted part to match with your Private Channel SharePoint Site URL.
-Now, you can change/add Site collection administrators for this Private Channel SharePoint site.
Thank you for the information.
I understand that we can do it from the root level teams site.
However, when we add new channel it will generate new site collection which comes out like this https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/Test_TestPrivate-newPrivateChannel that i cannot find way to grant SC-admin
Thanks,
