Why this course exists
Most SharePoint governance training was written when the biggest risk was an internal user finding a document they shouldn't have. Copilot changes the threat model: now the biggest risk is that Copilot summarizes and surfaces that document across the whole tenant in ten seconds, and nobody can prove it happened until the DLP alert fires.
This course teaches SharePoint governance for the Copilot era. Hub architecture that scales past 500 sites. Permission models that survive staff turnover. SharePoint Advanced Management features (RCD, RAC, block-download policies, restricted access control) — what they do, when to use them, when to skip them. And the operational programmes — access reviews, exception logging, external sharing audits — that keep the model working after the consultant leaves.
Curriculum
Each module includes video walkthrough, written reference, PowerShell snippets, and a knowledge-check quiz. Complete all ten plus the final exam to earn certification.
Hub design patterns for 500+ sites. When to use communication vs team sites. Site provisioning automation. Hub navigation vs global navigation. The five architectural choices that break at scale and how to avoid them.
Site-collection admin vs owner vs member vs visitor. Where inheritance silently breaks (Shared with Everyone, unique permissions on subfolders, sharing links). How to audit inheritance. How to restore it without breaking the user experience.
What SAM actually includes (it comes bundled with Copilot licensing). The five capabilities most tenants never enable. When SAM justifies the licensing cost vs when standard SharePoint is enough.
The single most impactful pre-Copilot control. What RCD does, what it doesn't do, how to apply it at scale, how to measure coverage, and how to sequence RCD rollout against the sensitivity label programme.
RAC as the safety net when RCD isn't enough. Site-level RAC vs library-level. Interaction with Purview labels. The scenarios where RAC is the only correct answer and how to configure it without breaking legitimate access.
Tenant-wide vs per-site sharing settings. Anyone links, company-shareable links, specific-people links. Link expiry policies. B2B guest access via Entra. Anonymous link audits. The one sharing setting that matters more than all the others combined.
Site provisioning, ownership handoff, inactivity detection, ownership orphaning, and site retirement. The four-state site lifecycle (Active, Underused, Orphaned, Retired) and how to move sites between states without user complaint.
Entra ID Governance access reviews. Manual quarterly reviews for high-sensitivity sites. Automated reviews for group membership. How to design a review programme auditors accept. Review templates for the four common scenarios.
Unified audit log for SharePoint activity. Which events matter and which are noise. How to build an investigation runbook. Correlating file access to user identity. Preserving audit evidence for HR or legal escalation.
Bringing the previous nine modules into a single operational programme. Steering committee cadence, exception process, escalation, tooling, metrics, and reporting. What "SharePoint governance" actually means as a running programme, not a one-off project.
