ControlPoint Site Provisioning functionality automates the management of end user requests for new site collections and sites, which are based on "Provisioning Profiles" that you define. You can use ControlPoint's built-in functionality to associate specific site collection-, site-, and list-level properties with a particular Profile, and enforce their usage within the site collections or sites that use it. You can even attach one or more ControlPoint Governance Policies to a Profile.
NOTE: This feature is not available for Non-Standard installations.
Before an end user can request a new site collection or site, at least one Provisioning Profile must have been created. Once created, the Provisioning Profile becomes available to end users when a request for a new site collection or site is initiated.
