Workspace Provisioning: Self-service creation with built-in governance

Why manual provisioning creates governance problems

When teams create workspaces manually, configurations vary widely. Privacy settings, owners, and governance controls are applied inconsistently across your tenant. Once workspaces are live, correcting these issues requires reactive audits and manual remediation, often long after problems are introduced.

Without standardized templates and controlled provisioning, organizations struggle to maintain consistent governance as workspace volume grows. IT becomes a bottleneck for every new Team or SharePoint site, while users work around delays by creating unmanaged workspaces that bypass security policies.
