Settings for Teams groups

Team owners have access to various settings for managing the team.

Open Teams and under "Teams"-tab click on the three dots next to the name of the team you want to manage. Click "Manage team". Below we briefly explain what settings are under each section:

• Members: Here you can see who has access to the team. Change the role of those who have access. Add and delete members.
  • If external members are going to be added to the group (and the group is set up as "Gestir") then you will need to enter their full email address to add them to the group. Sometimes you may need to add external members through https://myaccount.microsoft.com/groups because of a bug.
• Pending Requests: Here is a list of those who have applied for access to the team you can accept or deny them access. If you select "Get link to team" you get an invite link you can send to a group of people.
• Channels: Each team has one default channel called "General". Here you can add more channels and configure existing ones.
• Settings:
  • Team name: Here you can change the team name and description. Click on the text to edit.
  • Lock: Under edit you can choose whether only team owners can add members to the team or whether the team is public so everyone within the university can join it.
  • Team picture: Here you can add or change the team picture.
  • Member permissions: Here you set what role gives which access. for example should a member be able to delete their message?
  • Guest permissions: Guests are those who are part of the team but do not have an UI address. Here are some settings for the guests.
  • @mentions: You can tag everyone in the team e.g. by writing @team and then message. Then everyone in the team gets notified. Here you will find settings if members should be allowed to do this for the whole team or individual channels.
  • Team code: Here you can access a code for the team that can be sent to users and give them direct access to the team. Then you do not have to accept access requests, but they access the team right away when they click on the code. This does not work for guests (non-UI users).
  • Fun stuff: Here are the settings on whether to allow GIF images, emoji, meme etc. Usually, all of this is allowed to keep the teams entertained.
• Analytics: Here you will find some user-statistics for the team.
• Apps: Here is an overview of the programs that the team can use. You can add more apps and delete existing ones.
