Controlling Documents in meetings and Teams
My organization is ready to turn on Guest access in Teams. We are a law firm and my users are very concerned with what a guest is able to do within a meeting and within a Team. I understand that d...
A few pointers here:-
1. Unless the user is added as a guest to the Team they will not see any of the files in SharePoint unless a file is specifically shared with them.
2. Permissions are not controlled from the SharePoint Admin Panel. Site owners(Team owners) can invite users to the site/folders/files and Site Members(Team members) can send links to guest users unless you have turned off settings in the SharePoint site to not allow this.
3. A SharePoint site can be closed to guests even though a Microsoft Team is not, that can be controlled from the SharePoint admin centre.
4. If in a meeting a user attaches a file the other attendees will be able to see that file.
- Thanks for pointing this out. I've been slowly learning where to look for specific controls. We have rolled out Teams, but we haven't introduced Sharepoint to our users yet.
