Create a SharePoint Course Page in Teams

Hello MikeBrady , first some disclaimers: I'm no specialist on SharePoint. I have in fact very limited experience with it. Having said that, every Microsoft Teams classteam that is created has its own SharePoint site that is associated with it. This is the "backend" of the team and not visible to users unless you choose to make use of the extra functionality that SharePoint offers.

Office 365 Groups and Permissions

One of the underlying features of Office 365 apps is that makes use of groups of users, that have permission to access certain resources. When you create a classteam, you have two groups of users: Owners and Members - since a ClassTeam is built on a SharePoint site, those permissions apply to all the SharePoint resources.

Sharing a SharePoint Page with other Classes

Ok, now let's get to your point: You have a SharePoint page that belongs to the SharePoint site associated with your one class. They automatically have permission to use it. If you want to give that permission to another group, you have to specifically add them in the SharePoint backend.

You will need to click around a bit on the site to familiarize yourself with where certain settings are.

Setting SharePoint Page Access Permissions

To help you on your way:

• Go to the page you have added as a tab in Teams, choose to open the website associated with it, this will open the page in SharePoint in the site associated with the team or just go directly to the page in SharePoint in any other way.
• Select "Pages" in the navigation menu of the site on the left
• You should see a list of pages that you have created
• Go to the three vertical dots which shows you a context sensitive menu for the page and select "manage access". You can also view the page details and get to the access management that way. (Just don't open the page itself - I didn't find an option to manage access on the opened page)
• You can now add groups (All your ClassTeams are groups) and set their permission - Usually View.

Having done all of that, you can now add that page as a tab to your other classes.
