Introduction
Powell Governance offers its administrators a dashboard that serves as a home page for an admin to provide an overview of the tenant's health.
IT admins can have a simple, relevant, appealing, and readable dashboard that informs IT teams, and advises and engage them to take necessary actions.
The goal of the administrator dashboard is to have a more assisted and guided experience with Microsoft Teams governance.
Administration Dashboard
Administration Dashboard can be accessed from the Powell Governance user dashboard.
Click the "Admin Center" icon at the top of the user dashboard to access the administration section.
The admin dashboard guides users in using Powell Governance, gives them a vision of their governance lacks, improves the use of features of the products, and provides a health overview for all admins. It helps provide a simplified summary of the Microsoft 365 data and rules, the overview of teams and life cycle management, Its KPIs, and all the reports - that is more visible and understandable for the IT.
What you find on the Administration Dashboard:
Directories access
The first panel offers comprehensive access to directories for teams, SharePoint sites, and individual users within the organization.
- All teams: The total number of teams on your tenant.
- All sites: The total number of sites on your tenant without the OneDrive sites.
- All users: The total number of users that are present in at least a team or a site.
Pending approval banner
The Pending Approval banner is designed to highlight and bring attention to approval requests still awaiting action.
Governance score
In the second panel, Powell Governance helps administrators situate themselves according to the governance score. The score is derived from the governance recommendations that have been achieved.
The maximum score for governance depends on the number of recommendations, which will be calculated according to the governance setup. The goal of the governance score is to push administrators to improve their governance practices continuously.
Administrators will improve the score by following the governance recommendations. The guidance for the specific actions administrators need to take will be displayed on the recommendations page.
The Powell Governance governance score calculation is based on KPIs of the tenant health overview and the governance recommendations achievements. Here is a dedicated article detailing each criteria taken into account.
Recommendations
The actions administrators should take to improve the governance score are found on the recommendations page. Here, administrators will find a list of 7 or 8 recommendations to set up a healthy Microsoft 365 environment and get the best of Powell Governance.
Powell Governance provides suggestions for the tasks that remain to be completed.
For example, in the image above, we can see that 3 recommendations aren't completed.
These actions are clickable, and they will directly re-direct administrators to the Report page, or allow them to Apply template, Archive, or Delete.

Tenant health overview
The tenant health overview panel is designed to display reports on teams, sites, or users, which administrators have chosen to pin to the page. This feature allows for a customized dashboard that provides real-time insights. By pinning specific reports, administrators can keep a close eye on the health and efficiency of the tenant.
Administrators can click these reports to access a more profound overview.
