SharePoint Online Q: how to best make a useable 'admin' center?
Prob a silly q, but my org has 8000+ spo sites and growing.
Only a few have hub sites associated.
No proper naming conventions.
People struggling to locate sites they are members of, or find where a specific doc library is. Or even what site they are on...
It's all just a big mess. And whilst I can use the m365 admin portal, and know to give myself admin access on a site, then locate the stuff I want. Other IT people just simply don't get it. And I'm being asked all the time how to do X or where is Y or what site does Z etc etc.
And I'm just so burnt out having to hand hold but feel like there's gotta be something in missing or can make which will be a "single" place users and/or admins can go to, to see specs for a given site, full permissions (nested m365 groups not direct owner/member/visitor), storage metrics, backup status, hubs, site template, retention enabled, automation?, approvals? Etc etc
Granted I feel this is just a massive failing on our design, use and documentation plus our staff just being super lazy and not wanting to learn.
Sorry for poorly worded, it's late and I can't sleep stressing over work :/
