Status of Microsoft Teams at Purdue

ECN Staff: See http://eng.purdue.edu/jump/2e85c34 for technical details and internal processes

UPDATE: As of 18th Dec, 2020, Faculty or Staff can create an MS Team inside the client - please use the naming conventions described below. If you need assistance, start by contacting ECN. Students should request a Team through their advisor/Faculty/Staff supervisor.

The following disclaimers are not intended to scare you, but we need to clearly communicate the limitations of the MS Teams Environment at Purdue.

MS Teams at Purdue is available for small groups to use as a means of collaboration and communication, but the following caveats apply:

1. The requestor of the MS Teams Team is responsible for internal support questions and membership adjustments.
2. There is no automated way to keep a group up to date based on status, title or other memberships. All group member changes must be done by the administrator of the Team (See Tips and Tricks section for help with this)
3. Copies of any documents that are shared inside of Teams must be saved in a space that is backed up by ECN if you wish to retrieve copies. ECN is UNABLE TO RESTORE LOST DATA FROM AN MS TEAMS INSTANCE
4. MS Teams instances are NOT APPROVED for storage of Sensitive or Restricted data. Storing Proprietary/intellectual property data on Teams is at your own risk. Please discuss your individual share and storage needs with ECN, we'd be happy to help you choose.
5. If you are using another instance of Teams, and the Purdue instance does not behave similarly, do not expect a quick or timely fix
6. Inactive Teams teams are automatically deleted after some time (13 months). We cannot retrieve data from such Teams
7. For support, ITAP has created a web page of resources at https://www.itap.purdue.edu/infrastructure/Collaboration/ - If you have specific questions, start with ECN's ContactUs page, and we may need to refer you to ITaP if the questions need additional assistance.
8. Adding phone calling is available at additional charge(s): see https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/sites/TeamsAudioLicensing for details.

Name(s) following the naming convention below:

(ENGR/TECH/EVPRP)-(Dept)-(Staff/Class/PLC/O)-

If you wish us to create your Team for you, we will need the following information to create your Team(s):

Requestor (you) and any additional owners you would like. You can also add owners yourself.

Is this a Staff (includes Faculty, Staff but no Students) or Class account? While those are the two types most likely to be needed there are two other types: PLC and Other. A breakdown of the differences can be seen here: Before creating a new Team, you may want to familiarize yourself with the four types available to Education tenants, and what comes with each type of Team. A table view of the four types with permissions and features can be seen here: Choose a team type to collaborate in Microsoft Teams

Once a request is submitted we will reply if additional information is needed or to let you know the Team(s) has been created.

Known Issues:

Issues with the Teams Outlook Add-In:

The Outlook add-in for Teams, that allows one to schedule a Teams Meeting from within the Outlook app, is not very stable. If it disappears from your Outlook app at any point, we can attempt to re-install it, but the success rate is very low. Forum graveyards are littered with unsuccessful attempts. You may have some success by following the steps at https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/TeamsOutlookCalendarP - If that doesn't help, the only workaround to this is to use Outlook online at outlook.office.com. Create a New Event, and use the drop down menu for 'Add Online Meeting' to choose Teams.

Issues reported of not being able to add someone to a team:

This is usually because the Student/Staff/Faculty 0365 account andor mail is NOT enabled. They will need to enable their Office 365 account and have mail forwarding to O365.

The user should go to:

https://www.purdue.edu/apps/account
Login using boilerkey

On that page check - Office 365 Status - likely needs to be enabled

Change Mailbox can be found in the same area
Make sure it is set it to Purdue Office 365 Email

* the student can then login to Office 365 mail and set a forward from there if
needed. When they forward at the directory level their account does not get
the necessary license needed for Teams.

Issues adding someone with a non-Purdue email to a team (guests):

When adding a non-Purdue email person to a team (as a guest) the owner adds the email and an invite will be sent. If there isn't a Microsoft account affiliated with the email then the recipient will be prompted to create one by Microsoft before they can join the Team. If they already have a Microsoft account (including Office 365), they will need to use the invite link to allow Purdue to access basic account info. Once they've done this, the owner can add them to the team.

These users will appear as guests and will have a subset of features available. The guest experience is explained in detail here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/guest-experience

Tips and Tricks

Adding many users to a Team via a link:

Multiple users can be allowed to join a Team by generating a link. In the Team page left click on the three dots next to the Team name, in the menu that appears select to 'Get Link To The Team' and you can copy that link to share with anyone you want to have access to your Team.

Adding many users to a Team via a Code:

You can also generate a code that people can enter from within MS Teams to join your Team. In the Team page left click on the three dots next to the Team name, in the menu that appears select to 'Manage Team' and then select 'Settings' from the menu bar that appears. In the Settings menu is an option 'Team Code' that you can click on to generate a code to share.
