# Site Collection Configuration

Configures the provisioning of a SharePoint site collection, including URL patterns, storage quotas, sharing policies, sensitivity labels, and associated site structure.

Referenced by: SiteCollection file handler via the SiteCollectionSet column.

# Overview

SiteCollectionCfg defines the properties and structure applied when creating a new SharePoint site collection. It references a SiteCfg (for site structure) and optionally a GroupCfg (for group definitions).

Child configurations:

  • SiteCfg — site structure, columns, content types, libraries (referenced via SiteSet)
  • GroupCfg — SharePoint groups to create (referenced via GroupSet)

# Applied when

A site collection is provisioned when:

  • The SiteCollection file handler references this configuration name
  • The provisioning job creates a new site collection using this template
  • The Owner account exists in the directory and has permissions to create site collections
  • Applied once during site collection creation; retroactive updates to the site collection structure require re-provisioning or manual SharePoint administration
  • ConvertToGroupOrTeam conversion (if configured) occurs immediately after site collection creation, provided the specified Microsoft 365 Group or Teams team exists
