This cmdlet contains more than one parameter set. You may only use parameters from one parameter set, and you may not combine parameters from different parameter sets. For more information about how to use parameter sets, see Cmdlet Parameter Sets.
The Set-SPSiteAdministration cmdlet allows a farm administrator to configure particular settings on a site collection even if the farm administrator is not granted explicit permissions. Any parameter that is not provided is not changed.
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPSiteAdministrationPipeBind | Specifies the URL (full or partial) or GUID of the site collection. The type must be a valid URL, in the form http://server_name, or a GUID, in the form 1234-456-987fg. | ||
| AdministrationSiteType | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAdministrationSiteType | Specifies the site type. Valid values are None or TentantAdministration. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
