Site Classifications (HBI, MBI, LBI)

[Andrew Warland]

The 'Start a Site' option in the Settings area of the SharePoint Online admin centre has two options: (a) Hide the link, (b) Show the link.

If you select to 'Show the link', allowing end users to create site themselves, you also see the options 'Site classification' and 'Secondary contact'. If you hide it, there is no option to apply a Site Classification when a new site is created from the 'Site Collections' area. Site Policies don't include this option either.

As far as I can see, site classification policies are not set as security policies.

How do you set a Site Classification if you have a controlled site creation process where end users cannot create their own sites?

I can now answer my own question: 'Site classification will enter First Release in October. You will be able to select a classification when provisioning a site and group from SharePoint home, and you will see the site classification in the header of site and group pages.' Source:
