Where to create the “harmon.ie Files” library

The harmon.ie Files library should be created in one of the following locations:

  • Under the Root Site – Recommended for a simple, centralized setup. Requires that all users can access the root site.
  • Under a “harmon.ie Admin” Subsite – Choose this option if root site access is restricted for some users.

1. (Optional) Create a “harmon.ie Admin” subsite:

If you don’t want or can’t create the harmon.ie Files library in the root site, you may create it under a subsite.

a. Create subsite:

  1. In the root site, go to Settings > Site contents > New > Subsite.
  2. Set Title to harmon.ie Admin. The name cannot be changed.
  3. Set URL name to harmon.ie Admin. The URL name cannot be changed.

    4. Create the harmon.ie Admin site

b. Set permissions:

  1. Create or use an existing SharePoint group to specify the harmon.ie Admins.
  2. Use unique permissions for the subsite and remove all users except harmon.ie Admins and site owners.

c. (Recommended) Hide the “harmon.ie Admin” subsite:

  1. Remove it from the navigation bar.
  2. Exclude it from search indexing:
    1. Go to Site settings > Search and Offline Availability.
    2. Set Allow this site to appear in search results? to No.

2. Create the “harmon.ie Files” document library

a. Create document library:

  1. Navigate to the root site or the subsite created above.
  2. Click Settings > Site contents.
  3. Click New > Document library.
  4. Name the library harmon.ie Files. The name cannot be changed.
  5. Ensure the Show in navigation option is unchecked and click Create.

b. Set permissions:

  1. Remove existing permissions: Remove all existing user groups except for the Site owners group. This ensures that only the specified administrators have access to the library.
  2. Grant read-only access for all users: Add the group Everyone except external users with Read permissions.
  3. Grant edit access for harmon.ie Admins: Create or use an existing SharePoint group to specify the harmon.ie Admins. Add this group with Edit permissions.

c. (Recommended) Hide the harmon.ie Files library:

    2. Under General Settings, click Advanced settings.
    3. Set Allow items from this document library to appear in search results? to No.

Based on the location where you created the “harmon.ie Files” document library, its URL should follow one of these formats:

  • https://<your-tenant-prefix>.sharepoint.com/harmonie%20Files
  • https://<your-tenant-prefix>.sharepoint.com/harmon.ie%20Admin/harmonie%20Files
