The AI-Era SharePoint Administrator: Governance, Skills, and Agents for the Modern Admin
Full-day tutorial, included with the 4 Day pass
SharePoint administration has fundamentally changed. AI is now woven into every layer of the platform, and the admin role has expanded well beyond managing sites and permissions. If you have been administering SharePoint Online but have not yet tackled the AI side of things, this workshop is your upgrade path.
Full abstract
Drew and I will spend the day on demos, starting where every AI journey should begin: getting your content ready. We will work through SharePoint Advanced Management for site lifecycle policies, Restricted Content Discovery, oversharing reports, and data access governance. That foundation determines whether AI helps your organization or creates new problems.
From there we look at how AI is changing both layers of SharePoint. On the content side, autofill columns, automated tagging, and taxonomy tagging sharpen Copilot responses while adding new governance work. On the platform side, natural-language site and page creation, custom skills that enforce guardrails during AI execution, and managing SharePoint agents including insights, permissions, and the SharePoint Admin Agent. We finish beyond SharePoint, with where Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365 Copilot Control System land on your plate, because in the AI era your boundaries do not stop at the SharePoint admin center.
