Add an SPFX webpart without being a tenant admin?
I am an admin of a SharePoint communication site and I'm wondering if there is any way for me to add/create an SPFX webpart without having tenant admin permissions? Please share a tutorial if this is possible. Thanks!
Yes, it is possible using the SharePoint "site collection" level app catalog. Try this:
- Ask your tenant administrator to create a site (site collection) and grant you "Site Collection Administrator (SCA)" permissions
- Ask your tenant administrator to enable site collection level app catalog by following this article: Use the SharePoint site collection app catalog
- Then you can develop the SPFx solutions on your computer & deploy the solutions on site collection app catalog for adding and testing web parts.
Check these documentation for SPFx and development environment setup:
- Overview of the SharePoint Framework
- Set up your SharePoint Framework development environment
- Build your first SharePoint client-side web part
