An end user can request a new site or site collection as long as:
·the url for the Request Site or Site Collection page has been made available
AND
·the requester can be authenticated in Active Directory as a valid Office 365 user
AND
·the ControlPoint Application Administrator has specified the credentials to use for provisioning request submission.
When the Request Site or Site Collection page is launched, the user will be prompted for login credentials. Once logged in, the user can select from the available Profiles that were created via the ControlPoint Provisioning Profile Manager.
Upon selecting a Profile, the Create Site (or Site Collection) page displays, prompting the requester for the following information:
·a Title and Description for the new site
·the Web Site Address that the requester wants to use for the new site
NOTE: The requester must enter a full URL, including the name of the new site. For example, if the requester wants to create a subsite called Blog under mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sales, a valid URL might be https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sales/blog.
The Requester Name and Requester Email address pre-populate with the login name and email address of the current user. The Requester Email Address can, however be changed. If the request is for a Site Collection, Primary Site Collection Administrator and Primary Site Collection Email Address fields are pre-populated with the current user's information, but they can also be changed.
·When the requester places the request, ControlPoint validates the information provided by the requester, including that the URL is valid and available. If the validation fails, any error messages display at the top of the form.
If the validation is successful, a confirmation number is generated and displays at the top of the form, and a confirmation email is automatically sent to the requester.
NOTE: Once a request is submitted, it is registered in the Site Creation Requests list on the ControlPoint Configuration Site.
