-In addition to providing a process to provision new sites, you'll also want to think about a process to provision new [hubs](./planning-hub-sites.md) and associated hubs. Hubs must be provisioned by a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) or [above](/sharepoint/site-permissions), so you need to think about how you'll plan and govern the creation of new hubs.

-As a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and [above](/sharepoint/site-permissions) for your organization, you have a couple of options for managing SharePoint sites and settings:

-If you're a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and [above](/sharepoint/site-permissions) in Microsoft 365, you can allow or prevent users from creating modern pages. You can do this at the organization level by changing settings in the <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185219" target="_blank">SharePoint admin center</a>. If you allow the creation of site pages as the organization level, you can turn it on or off at the site level by using PowerShell. Site owners can also [turn it on or off at the site level](https://support.office.com/article/787F3BA1-9DF6-480A-AB4C-9F4525490CB9).

- > Preventing users from creating modern pages hides the following options:<br>- On the Site Pages and Site contents pages > **New** > **Page**.<br>- **Settings**  > **Add a page**.<br>Users can still add pages from other modern pages, either from the New menu or from modern webparts (such as News).

- ```

- ./SitePagesOut.ps1

- If you have a site such as "<https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/northwindcompete>"

- And for the **WebUrl** you would enter `sites/marketing/northwindcompete`

- ./SitePagesIn.ps1

- If you have a site such as "<https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/northwindcompete>"

- And for the **WebUrl** you would enter `sites/marketing/northwindcompete`

-As a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and [above](/sharepoint/site-permissions) in Microsoft 365, you can provide custom list templates for users in your organization. When users create new lists, they can select from these templates alongside the built-in templates from Microsoft. This feature enables your organization to create repeatable list solutions (in SharePoint, Teams, and within the Lists app itself).

-As a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and [above](/sharepoint/site-permissions) in Microsoft 365, you can influence the pages or documents that should appear at the top of your list of search results by identifying high-quality pages, also known as authoritative pages. Authoritative pages link to the most relevant information. A typical example of an authoritative page could be the home page of your company portal.

-> [!NOTE]

-> If you have Office 365 operated by 21Vianet (China), [sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=850627), then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the More features page.

-As a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and above (./site-permissions) in Microsoft 365, you can block access to a site or make a site read-only by using Microsoft PowerShell to change the lock state of the site.

-2. Connect to SharePoint as a [Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator](./sharepoint-admin-role.md) in Microsoft 365. To learn how, see [Getting started with SharePoint Online Management Shell](/powershell/sharepoint/sharepoint-online/connect-sharepoint-online).

- ```PowerShell

- Set-SPOSite -Identity "<SiteURL>" -LockState "<State>"

- ```

-Where:

-*SiteURL* is the URL of the site that you want to lock or unlock and *State* is one of the following values:

- > [!NOTE]

- > If the site was closed and made read-only through a [site closure policy](/sharepoint/sites/site-policy-overview#sharepoint-site-policy-options), the PowerShell command to unlock the site will not work.

- ```PowerShell

-Set-SPOTenant -NoAccessRedirectUrl 'https://www.contoso.com'

- ```

-As a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and above (./site-permissions) in Microsoft 365, you can improve search results in the classic search experience by creating and managing query rules. Query rules help searches respond to the intent of users.

- - For a tenant, in the new SharePoint admin center, select **More features**. Under **Search**, select **Open**, and then on the search administration page, select **Manage Query Rules**.

- - For a site collection, in your site collection, select **Settings** , and then select **Site settings**. If you don't see **Site settings**, select **Site information**, and then select **View all site settings**. Under **Site Collection Administration**, select **Search Query Rules**.

- - For a site, select **Settings** , and then select **Site settings**. If you don't see **Site settings**, select **Site information**, and then select **View all site settings**. Under **Search**, select **Query Rules**.

- - To apply the query rule to all result sources, select **All sources**.

- - To apply the query rule to one or more specific result sources, select **One of these sources**. By default, the result source that you specified earlier is selected. To add a result source to the query rule, select **Add Source**, select a result source in the dialog, and then select **Save**.

- - Select one of the conditions listed in [Overview of conditions that make a query rule fire](manage-query-rules.md#BKMK_Conditions_that_fire_query_rule).

- > [!NOTE]

- > The rule fires when any condition is true.

- To add more conditions, select **Add Alternate Condition**

-

- - Select **Remove Condition** to configure this query rule to fire for every query that users type at the level at which you are creating the rule, and then go to the next step. For example, if you are creating this rule for a site collection, select **Remove Condition** if you want this rule to fire for every query that users type inside any search box in the site collection.

- - To promote individual results so that they appear towards the top of search results, select **Add Promoted Result** (in SharePoint 2010 Products this was called Best Bets). In the dialog, in the **Title** field, type the name that you want to give this promoted result. In the **URL** field, type the URL of the result that should be promoted. Choose **Render the URL as a banner instead of as a hyperlink**. Select **Save**.

- You can add several individual promoted results. When there's more than one promoted result, specify the relative ranking.

- - To promote a group of search results, select **Add Result Block**. For more information, see [Create and display a result block](manage-query-rules.md#__toc343764779) a bit further down.

- - To change ranked search results, select **Change ranked results by changing the query**. For more information, see [Change ranked search results by changing the query](manage-query-rules.md#__toc343764780) a bit further down.

- - Select which content to search by selecting a result source from the drop-down list in the **Select a query** section

- - Specify your query. See [Query variables in SharePoint Server 2013](../SharePointServer/technical-reference/query-variables.md) for a list of available query variables. You can select pre-defined query variables from the **Keyword filter** drop-down list, and then add them to the Query text box by clicking **Add keyword filter**

- - If relevant, use property filters to query the content of managed properties that are set to queryable in the search schema. You can select managed properties from the **Property filter** drop-down list. Click **Add property filter** to add the filter to the query.

- > [!NOTE]

- > Custom managed properties are not shown in the **Property filter** list. To add a custom managed property to your query, in the **Query text** box, enter the name of your custom managed property followed by the query condition, for example *MyCustomColorProperty:Green*

- - The **Query text** shows the final query that'll be run by the Content Search Web Part. It's based on the original query template where dynamic variables are replaced with current values. You might end up making other changes to the query as part of query rules.

- - The **Query template** box shows the content of the query template that is applied to the query.

- - The **Query template variables** section shows the query variables that will be applied to the query, and the values of the variables that apply to the current page. You can type other values to test the effect they will have on the query. Click the **Test Query** button to preview the search results.

- - Select which content to search by selecting a result source from the drop-down list in the **Select a query** section

- - Specify your query. See [Query variables in SharePoint Server 2013](../SharePointServer/technical-reference/query-variables.md) for a list of available query variables. You can select pre-defined query variables from the **Keyword filter** drop-down list, and then add them to the Query text box by clicking **Add keyword filter**

- - If relevant, use property filters to query the content of managed properties that are set to queryable in the search schema. You can select managed properties from the **Property filter** drop-down list. Click **Add property filter** to add the filter to the query.

- - The **Query text** shows the final query that'll be run by the Content Search Web Part. It's based on the original query template where dynamic variables are replaced with current values. You might end up making other changes to the query as part of query rules.

You can type other values to test the effect they will have on the query. Click the **Test Query** button to preview the search results.

- - Select **Move rules to new group with this name**, and then type a name for the group.

- - Select **Move rules to existing group** and select a group in the list.

- - To change the order in which a rule in a group will fire if it's triggered, change the number ordering of the rule.

- - To prevent query rules that are ranked lowest in the group from firing, go to the row for the group's query rule that should fire last, and then in the **Actions** column, in the **Continue/Stop** list, select **Stop**.

-|**Query condition**|**Description**|**Configuration**|**Example**|

-|**Query Matches Keyword Exactly** <br/> |The query rule fires when a query exactly matches a word or phrase that you specify. <br/> |In the **Query exactly matches one of these phrases** text box, type one or more phrases separated by semicolons. <br/> |Type "picture; pic" in the box. The query rule fires when a user types "picture" or "pic" in a search box. The rule doesn't fire if a user types "pictures" or "sunny picture." <br/> |

-|Query Contains Action Term <br/> |The query rule fires when a query contains a term for something that the user wants to do. The term must be at the beginning or end of the query. <br/> |Enter the action term that causes the query rule to fire by doing one of the following: <br/> Select **Action term is one of these phrases**, and type one or more phrases. <br/> |Type the word "download" in the **Action term is one of these phrases** box. When a user types "download Contoso Electronics datasheet" in a search box, there are chances the user isn't searching for a document that contains the words "download," "Contoso," "Electronics," and "datasheet." Instead, the user most likely wants to download a Contoso Electronics datasheet. The query rule fires, and only the words "Contoso," "Electronics," and "datasheet" are sent to the search index. <br/> |

-|Query More Common in Source <br/> |The query rule fires if users frequently sent this query from another source that you have already specified. <br/> |In the **Query is more likely to be used in this source** list, select a result source. <br/> |You selected **Local Video Results** in the list. The query rule fires if a user types the word "training" in a search box and if that word had already been frequently typed in a search box in the Videos vertical. <br/> |

-|Result Type Commonly Clicked <br/> |The query rule fires if other users frequently clicked a particular result type after typing the same query. <br/> |In the **Commonly clicked results match result type** list, select a result type. <br/> |You selected **SharePoint MicroBlog Post** in the list. If users frequently click a microblog post in search results, consider configuring the most recent microblog post as the first promoted result, and the next most recent microblog post as the second promoted result (in the **Actions** section). <br/> |

-|Advanced Query Text Match <br/> |You want to use a phrase or a dictionary entry that causes the query rule to fire, and then define more detailed conditions for when the query rule fires. <br/> |Enter the phrase or term that causes the query rule to fire by doing one of the following: <br/> Select **Query contains one of these phrases**, and type one or more phrases. <br/> |You selected **Query contains one of these phrases**, and then chose **Start of query matches, but not entire query**. The query rule fires only if the phrase is at the beginning of a query, not if it's at the end. <br/> |

-A [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and above (./site-permissions) can manage result sources for all site collections and sites in the tenant. A site collection administrator or a site owner can manage result sources for a site collection or a site, respectively.

-By default, your SharePoint storage is available in a central pool from which all sites can draw. You, as a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and above (./site-permissions), don't need to divvy up storage space or reallocate space based on usage. That's all handled automatically: sites use what they need when they need it. If you previously set storage limits manually and switch to using pooled storage, SharePoint resets all the limits to 25 TB (25600 GB). (Note that the total storage for your organization might be less than 25 TB.)

-> [!NOTE]

-> Depending on your site, you may need to do the following to see the **Site Collection Administration** section:

-> On the upper right corner of your site, select **Settings** and then select **Site Settings**. If you don't see **Site settings**, select **Site information** and then select **View all site settings**.

-As a [SharePoint Administrator](/sharepoint/site-permissions#site-admins) and above (./site-permissions) in Microsoft 365, you can let your users create and administer their own SharePoint sites, determine what kind of sites they can create, and specify the location of the sites. By default, users can create communication sites and [Microsoft 365 group-connected team sites](https://support.office.com/article/b565caa1-5c40-40ef-9915-60fdb2d97fa2).
