How to add admin to the OneDrive For Business service? and relation to SharePoint Service Adminstrator role.

Anonymous

I want to make a user as administrator to both SharePoint and OneDrive for Business services in the O365 tenant. For SP, 'SharePoint Service Administrator' role can be used but not sure what to do for OneDrive. Does the 'SharePoint Service Administrator' role automatically be given access to the OneDrive service center?

Hi Vamsi,

Here’s some information related to your questions:

The user who is assigned “SharePoint administrator” role will have access to the SharePoint Admin Center and OneDrive Admin Center.

The SharePoint administrator can access and manage SharePoint site collections except OneDrive for Business site collections by default.
Typically, the user who the OneDrive site is being created for is the only OneDrive site admin. However, you can set “My Site secondary admin” so this admin will be able to access and manage all the new created OneDrive sites. For more information about this, please refer to How to enable My Site secondary administrator for OneDrive for Business.
For the existing OneDrive sites, the SharePoint admin only can set “access delegation for secondary My Site owner”. This admin’s access and manage permission will only be granted when he gets the email that alerts you “the user’s My Site will be deleted in 14 days”.
To set “My Site secondary admin” or “secondary My Site owner”, go to SharePoint admin center>User Profiles>My site settings>setup my sites

Thanks,

Rena
