Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive

Overview:

Features and Benefits:

• Can be accessed from all supported web browsers, and most mobile devices.
• Provides a place to store and edit files, as well as keep task lists and calendars
• Each group owner can add and remove individuals from a Team, Group, or SharePoint site, without having to go through IT.

Authorized Users:

• Faculty 
• Staff
• Students

Request Process:

Any faculty/staff member with access to Office 365 can request an Teams or SharePoint site.  See the "Creating and Securing an Office 365 Group" article linked on this page for the process.  In general - we recommend Teams as the first option for departments/group/committee file storage.

User Responsibilities:

• Users should follow our Acceptable Use and Privacy Policy and Confidential Information Policy.  Any data classified as sensitive should not be stored in Office 365 groups.

Requirements and Prerequisites:

• Office 365 Groups should be accessed via supported web browsers only.
• The Office 365 Group Owner/creator is responsible for managing permissions on the site.  IT can provide guidance, but is not responsible for assigning/correcting permissions.
• It is strongly recommended that multiple owners are set for each Office 365 group or Team

Support:

• Submit a ticket on this site via the Submit Service Ticket button
• Please note that as of now, Office 365 Groups and Teams are a best effort support application.  There is limited documentation available from New Paltz, and individuals should first seek assistance in the Help function within Office 365 Groups application.
