• SharePoint Groups exist only in SharePoint
• The initial Groups Created are determined by the Site Template used to Create the First SharePoint Site in The SharePoint Site Collection
• Initial SharePoint Groups typically:
  • Owner - Full Control Permission Level
  • Member - Edit Permission Level (some templates assign the Contribute permission level to Members)
  • Visitor - Read Permission Level
• SharePoint Groups are administrated via the Advanced Permissions section of the Site Settings Page (typically from the Top-Level site of a Site Collection) or in the SharePoint Admin Center

SharePoint Site Templates

• Currently there are 17 available (base) templates in SharePoint Online
  • Get-SPOWebTemplate | Sort Name | Out-Gridview
• SharePoint Site Templates are divided into 2 main categories:
  • Classic
  • Modern
    • Modern Team Site Template
    • Communication Site Template
• Create New Site Collection Page in SharePoint Online Admin Center (must have SharePoint Administrator permissions)

SharePoint Site Collections for Microsoft 365 Groups

• SharePoint Site Collections can be configured to use Microsoft 365 Groups to manage access and membership
• This is the default behavior when creating a new Microsoft 365 Group
• This is the default behavior when creating a Microsoft Team
• When creating a Microsoft 365 Group or a Microsoft Team a new Site Collection is created with the Top-Level Site based on the Modern Team Site Template
