Teams

Our Teams integration is developed for schools that want to avoid hour-long administrative tasks. The integration automatically creates, maintains, and deletes users based on data from your student administrative system. It also creates and maintains group rooms, which teachers and students can use for teaching purposes. The rooms automatically use the language you require and can be categorized according to your needs, making them easier to find. Rooms that are no longer in use are deleted automatically.

Configuration in UMS

This allows users to log into Teams with the same password they use to access the school’s IT-system. The Teams integration gives you an easy overview and ensures that the users’ data is always managed correctly, without requiring any manual updates. This frees up time for the IT-department so they can focus on other tasks.

Delete Teams options

We recommend that delete options are set to “Manual delete sites”. Do not use “Auto delete when there are no more learners” unless you have a confirmation from the teachers. Once a team is deleted you can’t recover lost files and conversations from a deleted course/team. In some countries like Denmark the school must preserve courses / teams for the whole school period.

Send mail to teachers

UMS can notify users when they have been added to a SharePoint site, a OneNote Class Notebook or a Team. However, Microsoft School Data Sync always sends mails to users. Avoid this with an Exchange mail flow.
