SharePoint Templates

The SharePoint Templates page lists the saved SharePoint provisioning templates in CIPP. Each template defines one or more site templates and their document libraries, which can be deployed to tenants to provision SharePoint sites in a consistent way. From here you can create, edit, copy, and delete templates, as well as deploy a template to a tenant.

Action Buttons

Create New Template

Deploy Template

Deploying pushes a saved template out to a tenant, provisioning the sites, document libraries, and permissions it defines. Selecting Deploy Template opens a side panel.

Field	Description
Select Template	The saved template you want to deploy. Required.
Select Tenant	The tenant to deploy the template to. One tenant per deployment. Required.
Site / Team Owner	The user who will be set as the owner of every site or Team the template creates. The list shows the enabled, licensed users in the selected tenant, and clears if you change the tenant. Required.

The Deploy Template button in the panel queues the deployment, and only becomes available once a template, a tenant, and an owner have been chosen. A Deployment Progress view then updates live as each site, library, and permission is provisioned. When it finishes, select Deploy Again to run another deployment, or Close to dismiss the panel.
