You can configure separate administrators for each Geography ___location that you have in your Tenant. These administrators will have access to the SharePoint and OneDrive settings that are specific to their Geography ___location.
Some services - such as the term store - are administered from the Primary Provisioned Geography ___location and replicated to Satellite Geography locations. The Geography admin for the Primary Provisioned Geography ___location has access to these, whereas Geography admins for Satellite Geography locations don't.
Global administrators and SharePoint administrators continue to have access to settings in the Primary Provisioned Geography ___location and all Satellite Geography locations.
Important
Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. This helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.
Configuring Geography administrators
Configuring Geography admins requires the SharePoint PowerShell module.
Use Connect-SPOService to connect to the admin center of the Geography ___location where you want to add the Geography admin. (For example, Connect-SPOService https://ContosoEUR-admin.sharepoint.com.)
To view the existing Geography admins of a ___location, run Get-SPOGeoAdministrator
Adding a user as a Geography admin
To add a user as a Geography admin, run Add-SPOGeoAdministrator -UserPrincipalName <UPN>
To remove a user as a Geography Admin of a ___location, run Remove-SPOGeoAdministrator -UserPrincipalName <UPN>
Adding a group as a Geography admin
You can add a security group or a mail-enabled security group as a Geography admin. (Distribution groups and Microsoft 365 Groups aren't supported.)
To add a group as a Geography administrator, run Add-SPOGeoAdministrator -GroupAlias <alias>
To remove a group as a Geography administrator, run Remove-SPOGeoAdministrator -GroupAlias <alias>
Note that not all security groups have a group alias. If you want to add a security group that doesn't have an alias, run Get-MgGroup to retrieve a list of groups, find your security group's ObjectID, and then run:
Add-SPOGeoAdministrator -ObjectID <ObjectID>
To remove a group by using the ObjectID, run Remove-SPOGeoAdministrator -ObjectID <ObjectID>
