trying to add site administrators in sharepoint online

[Pete Gibson]

Hi There,

 we are just starting to use sharepoint online. I'm trying to add a new site administrator to one of our sites. however, I see a number of accounts listed as administrators that I am unsure of. if I try to add a user, I am unable to OK my changes as I get a list of "item too long" errors for these extra accounts. an example is:

i:0#.f|membership|zzo365tenantserviceadmin9a7b25488524408392e5fdc0860d8041@solutionspt.onmicrosoft.com;

I'm ever cautious so would rather understand what these extra accounts are rather than just deleting them.

best regards

Pete

It depends what kind of site you created.

If you created only SharePoint Online site (using the SPadmin) without Office 365 Group behind, you can directly look the 2 groups:

• Company Administrator
• SharePoint Service Administrator

The first one will be the tenant admin group and the second one is the SharePoint admin group defined into your tenant.
