Issue
How do I create a Microsoft Team at U-M? How do I add/remove members from my team?
Resolution
Refer to Microsoft Teams: Create & Manage a Team for detailed steps on how to create, manage, add/remove members, and delete teams in Microsoft Teams.
The documentation contains the following information:
- Creating a new team
- Viewing team members
- Adding and removing team members
- Manually resyncing team membership
- Deleting a team
Important information contained within the documentation includes:
- Only MCommunity group owners can create teams.
- Do not add U-M members (i.e., users with an @umich.edu email address) directly within Microsoft Teams. U-M members added manually within the Teams web or desktop application are temporary and will be removed from the team the next time Teams and MCommunity sync (within 24 hours). They must be added via the MCommunigy group. However, this does not apply to adding external members (i.e., users with a non-UM email address).
- If someone leaves a team (while within Teams) and remains in the MCommunity group associated with the team, they will be re-added to the team within 24 hours.
