Decision: Option 2: redirect users to the current intranet "THEHUB"

Decision made by: INFRA TDA

Date:  

Online Meeting: TDA 

Issue

As part of adopting SharePoint Online, a default root site already exists in the tenant.
Because it is not yet used and to avoid uncontrolled access, permissions have been temporarily removed.

While preparing the official SharePoint adoption, we need to determine if we continue with this or redirect to the intranet TheHub.

Recommended Decision

Option 2 : Redirect to the Intranet

Options considered

Option 1 : Interim solution in place today block permission to avoid users to access the default sharepoint.

Pros : the users can access sharepoint via the sharepoint app

Cons : accessing this URL : https://syensqosa.sharepoint.com/ is giving an error, while the default page is blocked 

Option 2 : Redirect users to the current intranet "THEHUB"

  • While there is not yet any ambition to adopt SharePoint as Intranet, or central hub, put in place a redirection to https://thehub.syensqo.com/en
  • Use Site redirects to perform this from the default SharePoint site to "thehub".
  • If a user tries to access the default page the https://syensqosa.sharepoint.com/ this will automatically redirect him to the Intranet : https://thehub.syensqo.com/en
