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.
