Microsoft SharePoint: Manage SharePoint Embedded containers through the SharePoint admin center
Microsoft SharePoint Embedded, currently in Public Preview, is an API-only solution empowering app developers to leverage the file and document storage in Microsoft 365 to create line-of-business or multitenant applications. Microsoft Loop is an example of a SharePoint Embedded application.
Organizations who are using SharePoint Embedded applications on their Microsoft 365 tenants are the consuming tenants. With this rollout, alongside PowerShell, consuming tenant admins have the added ability to manage SharePoint Embedded applications registered in their tenant directly through the SharePoint admin center. To access this functionality, administrators must assign the new SharePoint Embedded Administrator role when it becomes available in early March 2024 in the Microsoft 365 admin center. New Embedded Administrators must log in to the SharePoint admin center.
When this will happen
Public Preview: We will begin rolling out early March 2024 and expect to complete by late March 2024.
Standard Release: We will begin rolling out mid-April 2024 and expect to complete by early May 2024.
How this will affect your organization
After a user is assigned to a SharePoint Embedded Admin role in the Microsoft 365 admin center, the SharePoint Embedded Admin will be able to:
- Manage SharePoint Embedded containers through the SharePoint admin center and perform the following actions.
- View a list of SharePoint Embedded containers created in the tenant
- View details of each SharePoint Embedded container created in the tenant, such as Storage used, Created Date, Owner, Labels, and so on
- View owner, manager, reader, and writer user permissions assigned to the SharePoint Embedded containers
- Soft-delete and restore SharePoint Embedded containers
- Permanently delete SharePoint Embedded containers
- Manage SharePoint Embedded containers in their tenant through SharePoint PowerShell. Consuming Tenant Admin | Microsoft Learn includes a list of consuming tenant admin cmdlets that can be executed by SharePoint Embedded Admins.
What you need to do to prepare
Assign the SharePoint Embedded Admin role to the admin persona when it becomes available in the Microsoft 365 admin center in early March 2024. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
