SharePoint: Enhanced functionality to manage SharePoint Embedded containers in SharePoint admin center

This post introduces enhanced functionality to manage SharePoint Embedded containers in SharePoint admin center. Microsoft SharePoint Embedded is an API-only solution that enables developers to make line-of-business or multitenant applications, leveraging Microsoft 365's document and file storage. Microsoft Loop is an example of SharePoint Embedded application. Organizations using such applications in their Microsoft 365 tenants are the consuming tenants. This update will equip consuming tenant admins with additional tools to more effectively manage the containers in the SharePoint admin center.

The updated functionality includes:

• Container management features.
• Sorting containers.
• Filtering containers.
• Setting sensitivity labels on containers.
• User management features.
• Adding a user to a role in a container.
• Reassigning a user from an existing role in a container.
• Removing a user from an existing role in a container.

Note: The available roles in SharePoint Embedded containers are Owners, Managers, Writers, and Readers. Unlike SharePoint sites, each user can be assigned to only one role at a time.

To access this functionality, admins must be assigned the SharePoint Embedded admin role in the Microsoft 365 admin center and log in to the SharePoint admin center. The rollout began in mid-November 2024 and is expected to be completed by late December 2024.

This update will not affect organizations that are not using SharePoint Embedded applications or consuming tenant admins who do not have SharePoint Embedded admin roles.
