SharePoint Online for Power Users is a hands-on course in the site owner's job, from creating and customising team and communication sites, pages and news to organising libraries and Microsoft Lists and managing permissions and permission levels. It suits power users who look after a department site, team owners in Microsoft Teams and IT administrators handing over site care.
Many organisations already have SharePoint as part of Microsoft 365, and every team created in Microsoft Teams comes with its own SharePoint site. Yet most sites are still just a place to keep files, with no home page that speaks to the team, no central lists of information and permissions handed out without a plan, so nobody knows who can see what. None of this has to wait for the IT department: a user who has been given the site owner role can handle it.
This course takes learners through the site owner's job in SharePoint Online, from creating team sites and communication sites, changing the look and navigation, and building pages and news with web parts, to organising a document library and keeping team data in Microsoft Lists. It then goes deeper into permissions, including the Owners, Members and Visitors groups, breaking inheritance and permission levels, and uses rules and Power Automate for notifications, finishing with a workshop that builds a department site from start to finish. (1 day, 6 hours, Intermediate level.)
Course Details
This is the 2026 edition of the SharePoint Online for Power Users course. It runs for 1 day, 6 hours (09:00-16:00), hands-on in each learner's own Microsoft 365 account, at Intermediate level. The content has been rewritten for today's modern SharePoint, adding communication sites, pages and news, Microsoft Lists, and notifications with rules and Power Automate in place of the SharePoint alerts that Microsoft has retired. The course focuses on the site owner's job and builds on Microsoft 365 OneDrive & SharePoint. Learners use their own work or school account, and creating sites depends on what their administrator has enabled. Learners take home the course handbook, practice files and a site care checklist.

Whenever you create a team in Microsoft Teams, a Microsoft 365 group and a SharePoint team site are created with it. Files shared in channels are stored in that site's document library, with each standard channel as a folder in Documents, so team members are also site members. Site owners can use the same site to add pages, news, lists and other libraries for the team.
By default, libraries, lists, folders and files inherit permissions from the site, so anyone with access to the site sees content according to the site's permissions. To limit a library or list to certain people, open its permission settings, stop inheriting permissions, then remove or add groups and users as needed. Use this sparingly, because too many unique permissions make access hard to audit.
On the team site choose New, then List, and start from a blank list, a template or an Excel file. Add columns for the data you need, such as a choice column for status, a date column for due dates and a person column for the owner. Then create views that filter or group items, and set a rule to notify people when a new item is added.
It suits power users asked to look after a team site, team owners in Microsoft Teams, and IT administrators who want to hand over site care to users. You should already use OneDrive and Microsoft Teams, understand basic file sharing, and have a Microsoft 365 account that can create teams or sites, or a practice site where you are the site owner.
You will be able to create team and communication sites, change their look and navigation, build pages and news, organise the team's document libraries and Microsoft Lists, set permissions through the Owners, Members and Visitors groups, break inheritance, create permission levels and set up notification rules. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.
Yes. It can be run in-house for your team, with examples adapted to your own sites and permission policy, for example designing your department's real site during the training. You can request a quotation from this page, or contact us on LINE @itgenius or by phone on 02-570-8449.
