Teams

Microsoft Teams offer a modern group workspace within Office 365 that includes tools and content targeted for teams of people working towards a common goal or purpose. Teams brings together a collaborative workspace, file management, project and task tools, persistent chat (IM), and a new type of online meeting space all into one solution, making it easier for people to communicate and collaborate.  Microsoft Teams is available to all WSU employees and students, and employees can request a Team be created for their group via the Crimson Service Desk. Team owners can add additional owners, manage the membership of the Team, add channels and content, and set options for the Team, such as setting permissions and Team behavior.

Service eligibility

The Teams service is available to all WSU employee and students that have Office 365. Teams can also include guests from outside our organization using a non-WSU email address.

Guests and External sharing

Guests and External sharing are enabled by default in Teams. Office 365 guests must create or sign-in to an Office 365 guest account to access Teams.

External sharing is available for authenticated access or anonymous expiring links.

Planner

Teams comes with a task management service called Microsoft Planner. In order to create plans in Planner you must already have an existing Team.

To create a new Plan use the Microsoft Teams interface using these instructions. Owners or Members of the Team are granted access the newly created Plan.

Please note: You will not be able to create a new Plan directly from the Planner interface. Trying to create a plan from the Planner web app will attempt to create an associated group, which is not allowed in the WSU’s Office 365 service.

Web Services

As Washington State University moves toward a more seamless and integrated environment, its internal systems, applications, and processes must communicate dynamically in real time. Web services have become a key component in realizing this goal and also in revitalizing legacy systems to provide real-time information across the organization. Enterprise Systems develops and supports a number of web services available for use by departmental applications.
