Set up a team in M365
- Talk to your supervisor or the person responsible for the course about whether you need a team.
- In order to log onto the team, you must have activated multi-factor authentication, MFA. Follow the instructions to activate MFA
- The supervisor or teacher orders the setup of the team and adds the members.
- As a member, you receive information about and a link to the team via email.
- Now you, together with the other members, can start managing the student project in the team.
Storing files and communicating
To get the best experience and functionality, you are recommended to use the collaboration site in Teams for storing your files. You can also use Teams for online meetings, communication and collaboration as well as for recordings and data collection.
The site is customised and has limitations
This collaboration site is adapted to process student work that contains sensitive personal data. Therefore, some functionalities are limited:
- Login with MFA is required to access the team.
- It is not possible to work with files in the Word desktop app (the app that is installed on your computer), but only via the web.
- It is not allowed nor possible to download or synchronise files located on the team.
- It is not allowed nor possible to share files with people outside the team.
- It is not possible to rename files, documents and folders – so think carefully when you name your content.
- Only team owners can add and remove members.
Make sure to follow the rules!
You have to follow the rules described in the Rules and procedures for processing personal data in student assignments when you use personal data in your work. This applies to student assignments such as degree projects, theses, reports and other written assignments.
