SPWebApplication.SelfServiceCreate method (SPWeb, String, String, String, String, String, String, Int32)

  • Article

Creates SPSite or SPWeb object, depending on the self service creation mode set in the SPWebApplication, based on a simple set of input parameters. The site owner will be the user calling this method. The site will be created using the "STS#0" site template, without a description, the title will be the same as the relative URL and the LCID will match that of the input context Web. NOTE: If an Individual Site will be created, it will have unique permissions and a link to its homepage will be placed in the parent web's top navigation bar.
