MS Teams - Add a Non-Person Account to Teams?

Issue/Question

  • Can we add our department or resource account as a member in Teams?
  • Can we allow a non-ONID account access to Teams?

Environment

  • Oregon State University
  • Microsoft Teams

Explanation

Our Teams instance is only licensed for individual ONID users. It is not possible to add a resource or departmental account as a member in Teams.

Resolution

Teams is intended primarily for internal group chat between members of a department, group, project team, or community of practice. Depending on the use case, it might make sense to use a different tool. Consult with your IT team.
