OVERVIEW
This article describes the fourth step to planning a team, the approach to adding or removing members.
DETAILS
You can choose one of the two ways to manage your team membership:
- Manually-managed teams: Team owner(s) add/remove members via the "Manage Team" setting in MS Teams.
- Group-managed team: Team owner(s) add/remove members via SFU Groups - i.e., individuals are added/removed according to the group(s) synced to the team.
Note: The team membership management process chosen when requesting a team can always be changed later on.
We recommend choosing the corresponding process below if your team's needs match any of the points on either side:
| Choose "manually-managed team" |
Choose "group-managed team" |
|
If your team needs to:
- Control membership directly via MS Teams,
- Manage a small group of members (e.g., less than 20 accounts), or
- Want to change into a public team in the future.
|
If your team needs to:
- Control membership exclusively via the security group(s) synced,
- Manage a large group of members (e.g., more than 20 accounts), or
- Add one or more sponsored accounts on your team.

Additional tips for group-managed teams
- If you plan on syncing a new security group to your new team, please create and activate it prior to submitting a team request. Submitting a team request with an unactivated security group can lead to technical issues in your team.
- If you plan on syncing your department's security group to your new team, we recommend nesting your department's security group inside a new security group. This ensures that people who are outside of your department can be added to your team without being added to your department's security group.
