Below a list of SharePoint URL Shortcuts for common SharePoint administrative functions. For most of the URLs you must have administrator privileges on the site. Some URLs require administrative rights on the SharePoint server. With this quick list, you can perform a number of actions faster than via the Admin GUI.
All links in this list refer to the English language directory (1033). For other languages you can replace 1033 with the correct LCID.
For example: Dutch 1043.
