ChangeBot (formerly SPGA) is a SharePoint add-on that makes handling site provisioning and other user requests hassle-free for the SharePoint Administrator. It provides an automated, zero-touch solution to the management and execution of user requests, that would otherwise have to be handled personally by a SharePoint Administrator within the organization. It also automatically enforces your SharePoint Governance Plan and logs all user requests and results.
Examples of the types of user requests that can be handled automatically in the ChangeBot Self-Service Request Portal are:
- Provision a new SharePoint Site Collection or Subsite (including granular configuration steps)
- Change permissions on a Site, Library, List or Item
- Change the Quota for a Site Collection
- Activate a Feature
- and virtually any SharePoint Administration request via full integration with SharePoint Powershell!
Available for SharePoint 2019, 2016, 2013, and 2010!

Examples of our satisfied ChangeBot customers include:
ChangeBot installs as a SharePoint Farm Solution. Therefore, the system requirements are those of a healthy SharePoint 2010, 2013, 2016 or 2019 farm. See these pages on Microsoft’s TechNet site for details on SharePoint 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019 system requirements:
Hardware and Software Requirements for SharePoint 2019
Hardware and Software Requirements for SharePoint 2016
Hardware and Software Requirements for SharePoint 2013
Hardware and Software Requirements for SharePoint 2010
ChangeBot adds a User Request Processing Workflow service that can run on one or more servers in the SharePoint Farm. In multi-server farms where a high-volume of user requests will be processed by the system, it can be advantageous to dedicate one or more application servers to running the User Request Processing Workflow service.
