Provisioning Automation for Modern Sites, Office 365 Groups, and Teams

Friday, January 11th at 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM in 717 A/B​

While Microsoft’s modern experience has really come together, there are so many ways to create sites, groups, and Teams. In this session we will discuss how to standardize both the approach and the result with a request form (PowerApps), optional approvals (Flow), and provisioning process (PowerShell, PnP, Azure Automation).

In this session we will leverage an open source solution with PowerApps, Flow, and PowerShell to create a self-service request process for Teams, Office 365 Groups, and SharePoint Team and Communication sites. You can customize both your templates and process and add in an approv​​al process.
