If you are in IT or in any other administrative team probably you have some situations when you need to inform all employees about something. It could information about some outage or just any other informational news. Instead of sending mail you can publish this info via teams.
Below I will present a tutorial on how to configure such a team from the beginning and what to pay attention to during configuration.
To create a team, select the Join or create team option and then select Create team.
Then select the From scratch option.
and then select a team type. In our case, we click Org-wide.
The next step is to name the team. My team will be used to send notifications, so I will call it that: company notifications.
At this stage, we have already created a team, now we just need to personalize it by adding a team icon. However, I will focus on more important options. There are three dots next to the team name, click on them and select Manage team.
A new window with team settings will open. I recommend going to the Settings tab and setting the appropriate options for you. In this case, I limited the permissions for members to the maximum because, by definition, only I will publish in this team.
If we want to authorize someone else to publish, we can search for a given person in the Members tab and change their role from Member to Owner.
Now let’s move on to the channel. There can be several channels, for example one for critical alerts, the other as a news channel. I have only one channel, I click on the three dots next to it and select Manage channel.
In the settings, I select the Only owners can post message option, thus limiting the group of people who can post content. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, you can create an additional channel where everyone will be able to publish posts.
