Authoring and Publishing site collection in SharePoint Online

Hi ,
Can we have multiple authoring and publishing site collection in SharePoint Online?
Thanks, Kaviya (Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you)

Yes you can use SharePoint 2013 cross-site publishing feature in SharePoint Online to support 1:1 and 1:n set up of authoring : publishing site-collections in SharePoint Online. The catch is that it all needs to be within same tenant.

Building Site Collections in SharePoint Online

Hello all,
Please forgive me for this very basic question, but I was not able to find the info online.
Background info: I have a great deal of experience with SharePoint administration on-prem but not much experience with SharePoint Online. My current organization has O365 and wants to build a collaboration environment and an Intranet. I understand the information
architecture practices that would have been common for this for an on-prem environment, and I understand that those have changed with 2013 and SharePoint Online due to the new practice of organizing everything under one web app.
Between reading some articles and using my experience with on-prem, I am trying to design an organized information architecture that will facilitate both environments and the permissions structures they require. My tentative plan was to build one site collection
for the Intranet under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites (under which subsites would be built for various Intranet divisions), and then a number of individual site collections for the collaboration environment under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams
(/hr, /finance, etc., so that content owners and users could work in their own site collection without affecting a site collection belonging to someone else).
This is the article that initially caused me to believe that this is possible/a good idea: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/richard_dizeregas_blog/archive/2014/09/01/sharepoint-online-information-architecture-considerations.aspx.
"For [managed paths] you get the root, /search (explicit managed path), /sites (wildcard managed path), and /teams (wildcard managed path)."
However this article leads me to believe that I will not be allowed to create any site collections at all, only subsites: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-sites-and-manage-users-8e568d8d-3d65-42c4-99fa-f7285c9db842.
"You cannot create additional site collections in SharePoint Online for Office 365 for Small Business."
I understand the answer to this may depend on what version of O365 we have, and I am working to find that out.
My understanding is that I cannot be made a SharePoint Online administrator without being a global O365 administrator: http://blogs.technet.com/b/lystavlen/archive/2012/06/14/understanding-the-administrator-role-in-sharepoint-online.aspx.
"You cannot separate the roles of Office 365 global administrator and SharePoint Online Administrator."
Thus, I don't currently have the level of access I need to browse around the administration area and find the answers to my questions that way. When the time comes, I will likely be given temporary access or will be working with an O365 global administrator
to build.
Main question: Will I be allowed to build site collections under managed paths?
Larger question: How are others managing the information architecture for an Intranet and a Collaboration environment in SharePoint Online, especially if the answer to the prior question is no?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

Hi,
According to the error message, the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant.dll seems not been loaded.
You can find it in the path below:
C:\Program Files\SharePoint Client Components\Assemblies
A code snippet about how to retrieve a list of site collections in a tenant for your reference:
const string username = "[email protected]";
const string password = "password";
const string tenantAdminUrl = "https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com/";
var securedPassword = new SecureString();
foreach (var c in password.ToCharArray()) securedPassword.AppendChar(c);
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, securedPassword);
using (var context = new ClientContext(tenantAdminUrl))
context.Credentials = credentials;
var tenant = new Tenant(context);
SPOSitePropertiesEnumerable spp = tenant.GetSiteProperties(0, true);
context.Load(spp);
context.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (SiteProperties sp in spp)
Console.WriteLine(sp.Title);

Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online?
2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

Using microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online

Is it possible to use microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online.
GetHitCountForDay()
GetHitCountForMonth()
If yes, how can this be called and executed successfully from a Console application using the Client Object Model.

Is there any REST API to get all the Site and site Collections from Sharepoint Online

Hi,
I have one SharePoint Online tenant. We are using REST API to integrate SharePoint to our internal System.
For my use case I need to get all the SharePoint sites ans Sitecollections. From each SiteCollection I need all the subsites under this.
I have used below REST Query
http://<Base site url>/_api/web
This doesn't give me all the Site collections
Could any one please give me some way to get all the Site collections and sites from my sharepoint tenant through REST API.
Thanks,

Hi Abhiram,
There seems no such endpoint in SharePoint REST API can retrieve a list of site collections in a SharePoint Online tenant:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569.aspx#Reference
If Client Object Model can be an option for you, you can use Tenant object to achieve what you want:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24050.perform-basic-admin-operations-using-csom-in-sharepoint-online.aspx#Scenario_3_Fetch_All_Site_Collections
Anyway, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of REST API of Office 365 SharePoint
Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Managed property in a site collection (powershell - SharePoint online)

Link to my site collection -> https://web.domain.com/sites/SC/_layouts/15/listmanagedproperties.aspx?level=sitecol
when opening an url similar to this one and filter on a property name refinablestring00
What I need is to is to add a mapping to do is to add a mapping
Mappings to crawled properties
With powershell.
Assume that a full crawl has finished. That all crawled properties exist.
I want to add "ows_GoPro_x0020_Code" and I also want to change the Alias to "ProjectNumber"
What is the best way to do this via powershell for SharePoint 2013 online?
Do I need to build a sandboxed solution for this?

HI,i would recommend run the PowerShell cmdlet to check if this website exists. Here are the detailed steps:
1. Set up the SharePoint Online Management Shell Windows PowerShell environment
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx
2. Run the command Get-SPOSite, it will return all site collections.
3. Check if the problematic public site collection is shown in the result. If it shows up, run another command to remove it. For example:
Remove-SPOSite -Identity https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1 -NoWait
This will remove the site collection named https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1 from the site collections list and moves it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Delete the site from the Recycle Bin:
Remove-SPODeletedSite -Identity https://expertsharepoint/sites/site1

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set security group as admin of primary and secondary site collection using PowerShell command in office 365.
I suggest you can use the command below to set the group to site owner, then it will have the site collection admin permission.
Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/site1 -Owner [email protected] -NoWait

How can I create a new Host Url Site Collection in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
This may sound really daft, but someone is trying to create a new Team Site Host Url Site Collection. We have the one Web Application at
http://main and all site collections sit underneath. When we try and create a new Site Collection we have URL set as
http://main/sites. Our new site should be
http://newsite. I tried to remove root and sites from http://main managed paths and you can't do it.
Is it just me, but do you have to create a web application. Create Site collection for that web application and then move to under
http://main like a SharePoint 2010 migration?
Help Appreciated.
John.

In that scenario, you would need to create a new Web Application, yes. There is another function called Host-named Site Collections which would get you what you want, but it takes a bit of work:

Reporting and exporting to Excel in SharePoint Online

Hi
I've developed a SharePoint site to replace a legacy Access database that dealt with consumer complaints and queries. In the Access database I'd developed a feature that allowed users to filter the complaints by a number of criteria and export them to Excel
and I'm trying to do the same in SharePoint.
If it were on-premises SharePoint I'd just create a parameterised SSRS report which would solve all my problems. However being SharePoint online, this is not an option. I'd like the users to be able to select complaints from any date range, for any category
of complaint and for any product supplier (plus a few other criteria). The idea is that they want to be able to then send the filtered data to individual suppliers. Doing this out of the box with views throws up several problems. The main one is that any export
to Excel of a view exports the entire set of data, meaning that users themselves would need to create a new view for every export they wished to perform, which is not practical.
My question is: what is the best way in SharePoint online to export a filtered subset of a list to Excel?
I can use SharePoint designer, but not C# in order to achieve the goal. We also have SharePoint Online Plan 2 if that makes it easier.
Thanks in advance,
Duncan

Choosing between Team Site and Publishing Site

It depends on your requirements when it comes to choosing Team site and publishing site, you will use team site for collaboration and publishing site for managing pages. publishing sites are particularly aimed to internet facing sites. You can check below
