Knowledge base / Intranet Builder / Getting started
Overview
Intranet Builder creates and maintains a modern intranet on SharePoint Online: a corporate home site, department and HR sites, knowledge sites and a restricted administration site, from approved templates and modules. Administrators design each site in Setup Center and install it with a PowerShell provisioning engine that is idempotent, resumable and verified. Employees use SharePoint Framework web parts and extensions that read the intranet lists with their own permissions.
Your data stays in your tenant
Everything is stored in SharePoint lists and libraries on your own sites. There is no vendor database and no third-party service.
Designed, then provisioned
Setup Center builds a validated deployment configuration from approved templates. The engine plans every change before it touches anything, and verifies the site afterwards.
Safe to run again
Installations are idempotent and resumable: re-running never duplicates lists, pages or links, and an interrupted job continues where it stopped.
Security enforced by SharePoint
Web parts run with each reader's own permissions. Audience targeting only changes presentation; SharePoint permissions remain the authorization.
Grows with you
Updates are additive: new columns, views and settings are added, nothing is removed or renamed. New modules are opt-in per site.
Two ways to install
Administrator-run PowerShell, or the optional automated mode: an Entra ID protected API with a queued worker on Azure Functions, using managed identities only.
