How do I get access to a Team (MS Teams)? How do I administer a Team as an Owner?
Please note the adding and removing of members should be maintained by the Owners of MS Teams / SharePoint sites themselves, by following the instructions on this solution.
It is strongly recommended that every Team / SharePoint site has more than one owner (2-3 as the minimum).
IT only offers this level of administration as a backup where no owner currently exists.
Watch the admin video below!
As a team owner, you can add new members and guests, change members into owners, manage channels and settings, and archive a team that's no longer in use.
Add members
In the teams list, go to the team name and select > Add members
Type in the name or email address of someone you want to add.
Note: If the person is outside of your organization, type in their email address. Select the pencil icon to add a display name everyone will recognize. The guest will receive an email inviting them to join the team.
Select Add.
Remove members
In the teams list, go to the team name and select > Manage team.
Under Members, select the X to the far right of the name of the person you'd like to remove.
Add team owners
In the teams list, go to the team name and select > Manage team. .
In the Members tab, under Role, select the down arrow and change Member to Owner.
🍀Luckily we completed the migration of all Shared Folders in the Trust to use MS Teams / SharePoint pre-pandemic, allowing all staff to access data remotely.
