System Instructions

Disclosures

  • Although it is possible to chat with people from other State entities (those in the NYS-ITS O365 tenant) in Teams, NYSERDA's current policy restricts adding team members who do not have an email address ending in @nyserda.ny.gov or @greenbank.ny.gov.
  • Each team needs at least two Owners to manage (add/remove) team members.
  • Team Owners should conduct periodic reviews of Owners and Members associated with their Team(s) and Channel(s) to ensure that user access is current.
