Enable SharePoint site management

SharePoint site management allows you to apply governance to your Teams- and Communication-sites. As for teams and groups, your users can now independently create SharePoint Sites, and you, as the admin, can define guidelines (policies) for them to follow. We use the same owner principle as for Teams / Groups and Guest accounts, and to do so, we create a security group with a 1 to 1 association with the just-made SharePoint site. This security group contains all site collection administrators (only users) as owners and members. Those are the people who will take care of the site and its lifecycle.
