Issue

As part of adopting SharePoint Online, a default root site already exists in the tenant.

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.

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
