Hi,

Thanks for your response!

I am using Sharepoint Online, and I am global administrator in Office 365. Do you know how to check whether I am SharePoint Admin/Tenant Admin permission? And how to grant SharePoint Admin/Tenant Admin permission to me?

Go to the below URL

https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/users

Thanks,
