When managing a group, how can we prevent owner absence issues?

Back

Assign 2+ owners ( ideally 2-5); use IT-managed groups.

A SharePoint site should ideally have at least two owners (admins), but no more than five in most cases.

Here is the argument:

Minimum of Two Owners

• Redundancy: If one owner is unavailable (e.g., on leave or has left the organization), the second can manage permissions, settings, or troubleshoot issues.

• Business Continuity: Prevents a single point of failure in managing the site.

❌ Too Many Owners (More than 5)

• Risk of Mismanagement: Too many admins can lead to inconsistent permissions, accidental changes, or conflicting site configurations.

• Lack of Accountability: Hard to track who made which changes.

🔐 Best Practices

• 2–3 owners is ideal for most team or communication sites.
