Oversee member permissions and Teams settings

Completed

Within the Manage team feature, team owners can modify member permissions and further control conversations.

Modify member permissions

To modify member permissions within Teams:

1. Select the three dots by the name of the team.
2. Select Manage team.
3. Select Settings.

Team management settings

The Settings tab has seven categories for team management:

• Team details: Edit the team’s name and description, change privacy settings, and add an avatar.
• Member permissions: Decide whether members can create and delete channels, tabs, apps, connectors, and messages.

Tip

For a class team, consider denying learners the capability to delete or edit messages.

• Guest permissions: Decide whether guests can create and delete channels.
• @mentions: Determine who can use @team and @channel mentions.
• Team code: Generate a join code for the team.
• Fun stuff: Decide whether learners can use GIFs, stickers, and memes.
• Tags: Designate members who can manage tags.

Use tags to quickly mention groups of people

The Manage team area also includes a Tags tab.

With Tags, educators can categorize members based on role, project, skill, grade, or other designations. For example, a “Third grade” or “Group A” tag lets team members mention groups within Teams without having to type each member’s name one at a time. Once a tag is added, @mention it in a channel for everyone assigned to that tag to receive a notification. Another way to use tags is to start a new chat and then select the tag assigned to the people who need to see the message.
