Team owners can add people from outside NCU, like vendors or partners, to a team as guests. Here's how, and what guests can see.
Add a guest

Open the team
In Teams, point to the team name and select More options (…) > Add member.

|
Name them
Select the pencil icon to add their name, so people know who they are, then select Add.
|
The guest gets an email invitation. They sign in with a Microsoft account for that email address, or create one if they don't have one.
What guests can see
- Standard channels, their posts, and their files
- Private channels only if they're added to them
- Not the rest of NCU's Teams, people, or files
You're responsible for your guests
Only add guests to teams without sensitive information. See Using Teams with Sensitive Data. Remove guests when their work with NCU is done.
Remove a guest
Select More options (…) next to the team > Manage team > Members, then select the X next to the guest.
