The User Profiles configuration page in the SharePoint Admin Center.
Organizations
The Organizations section of the User Profiles screen lets you manage the proper- ties and profiles of the organization. For example, one of the properties of the organization might be the company logo, and another property might be the physical address or web address. By using this screen, you can create new proper- ties or edit existing properties. The Profiles section lets you manage a separate profile for different departments within the organization.
An easy way to think of properties and profiles throughout SharePoint is that properties define the fields used in the profiles. For example, a property might be First Name, and the profile would use this property but would associate Rosemarie with the property in the profile.
My Site settings
A SharePoint My Site is a personal site for every single user. A My Site allows users to create their own SharePoint space without worrying about having the right administrative access to a shared site. The My Site section provides the ability to set up and configure the My Site functionality for SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Term Store
The Term Store is a global directory of common terms that might be used in your organization. The idea behind the Term Store is that you want to create consis- tency in the way data is entered and managed throughout your SharePoint envi- ronment. For example, you might have a Human Resources Department. You don’t want people to enter data, such as “HR,” “HR Dept.,” “Human Resources Dept.,” and “Human Resources Department.”
