Sharepoint online admin tasks that can be automated

Question

I will soon be getting on a project as sharepoint online admin "(including onedrive, yammer). I am compiling a list of tasks that I can automate to make my job easier.

Can you suggest some tasks that you automated which made your job faster? Any already developed scripts would be really helpful.

Answer 1

Some scripts and automation I regularly use as a Developer, Designer, Architect:

• Provisioning sites (Columns, Content Types, Lists, Views)
• Changing Permissions (Orphaned Users, Adding / Removing from groups, creating groups)
• Creating Folder Structures (Yes, legacy users still demand folders)
• Enabling Features (Publishing)
• Enable external sharing on site collections
• Delete Lists & Libraries
• Automating Farm Inventories
• Associate with Hub site
• Exporting / Importing Term sets

There is so much more you can do with automation, just be sure it's worth it and will save time when comparing to manual effort.
