Check the standard permissions of students within a Team
Microsoft Teams allows the creation of different types of teams. The type of team that is created by the Course Connector is a Standard Team. Within a standard team, members have quite a few rights. For instance, they are able to add other members, make (private) channels and add other applications to the Team.
For most educational uses of Teams, it is not preferable for students to have so many rights. We therefore strongly recommend you to check the permissions of your Team and set them to your preferred settings.
Member permissions and other settings can be found under the tab Settings, through the Manage Team menu.
- Click on the three dots next to your Team's name.
- Click on Manage team.
- Click on Settings.
- Select or deselect the Member permissions you want to use.
