IT admins can manage SharePoint Embedded containers like they manage SharePoint sites using either SharePoint Admin Center or PowerShell, with the appropriate SharePoint Embedded administrator role. Install the latest version of SharePoint PowerShell module. Storage and quota are combined with SharePoint in your organization. Use the Loop application IDs to filter to Loop containers in PowerShell:

  • Loop Web Application ID: a187e399-0c36-4b98-8f04-1edc167a0996
  • Loop Mobile Application ID: 0922ef46-e1b9-4f7e-9134-9ad00547eb41
  • Copilot Pages and Copilot Notebooks use the same user-owned container as Loop My workspace. In admin tools, that container is identified using the Loop Application IDs.

Ownerless workspaces

IT admins can use SharePoint Admin Center and PowerShell to find ownerless tenant-owned Loop workspaces. For more information, see Consuming Tenant Admin, and Get-SPO Container.

To find ownerless Loop containers, update the following sample PowerShell to your needs:

Get-SPOContainer -OwningApplicationId 'a187e399-0c36-4b98-8f04-1edc167a0996' | WHERE {$_.Owners.Count -eq 0} | FT

Administering roles and membership for tenant-owned workspaces

Tenant-owned Loop workspaces created on or after April 2025: Manage Owners and Editors (shown as Managers in the SharePoint admin center). Writer and Reader roles aren't used.

Tenant-owned Loop workspaces created before April 2025: A legacy roster still controls membership. The legacy roster is being deprecated. Until fully retired:

  • Owners and Editors can manage membership in the Loop application.
  • SharePoint admin center changes apply only to newer (post–April 2025) workspaces.

Listing all the user-owned containers

To get a list of all user-owned containers in your organization, regardless of the container name, update the following sample PowerShell to your needs. This list includes the personal user-owned containers shared by Copilot Pages, Copilot Notebooks, and Loop My workspace:

Get-SPOContainer -OwningApplicationId 'a187e399-0c36-4b98-8f04-1edc167a0996' | WHERE OwnershipType -EQ 'UserOwned' | FT

Migrations

Currently, there's no supported method to transfer an existing SharePoint Embedded container between Microsoft 365 tenants—for example, in scenarios involving mergers or acquisitions.
