SharePoint Fraggel

This article provides the finding of deleting a Microsoft 365 Group in four different ways, as an owner of the Group or as a SharePoint Admin. I did this investigation because I was not really sure how, if or when a Group and the associated SPO site is deleted. If you're a SharePoint Admin you can also delete the Group from Microsoft 365 Admin Center or the SharePoint Admin Center.

The Developer feature is hidden so you have to activate it throug PowerShell. Run the following script to activate the feature.

For example: "http://sharepointsite/site1/library1 (source) "http://sharepointsite/site2/library2 (destination) Non-working Scenario Moving files between libraries in sub-sites that are more than 1 level below the root site.

SPWeb.SiteAdministrators.Add() SPUserCollection SPWeb.SiteAdministrators is of type SPUserCollectionType.UCT_SiteAdmins (6), which appears that SharePoint is not taking care of. If it's a bug, i don't know. Instead you have to set the property IsSiteAdmin of the SPUser to True; SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web; SPUser user = web.AllUsers["loginName"]; user.IsSiteAdmin = true; user.Update();
