Chapter 1. The Office 365 Administration Portal

While there's more than one way to perform most administrative functions in Office 365, the majority of administrators will find that most tasks can be performed conveniently and easily by using the Office 365 administration portal. In this chapter, we're going to go through the different parts of the main portal, and very briefly touch on the functions of the individual administration sites accessible from the portal, since most of those are covered in other parts of this book.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • The dashboard
  • The left sidebar's navigation
  • Administrative portals for individual services
