In a microsoft team, can there only be one owner on the team?

In shared channels, there are three roles: team owners, channel owners, and channel members. Each role determines if you can create a shared channel, add people to a shared channel, and more. Team owners Team owners can: • Create shared channels • Accept channel invites sent to their team • See the name and description of all shared channels in a team • Manage shared channels created in their team • View channel owners • Delete shared channels • Restore deleted shared channels • Manage shared channels • View all channels in their team • Remove a team from a shared channel Note: If you're a team owner and don't see an option to create a shared channel, check with your admin. Channel owners The team owner who creates a shared channel is the channel owner. Shared channel owners can: • Add or remove other shared channel owners and members • Manage, edit, and delete a shared channel • Restore deleted shared channels • Override default channel settings inherited from the team Things to know: • Removing a member from a team won’t remove them from a shared channel if the channel was shared with them directly • If a shared channel becomes ownerless (if the channel owner leaves the company for example), the host organization will automatically convert an existing shared channel member to owner

Hello JoJo246, Yes, you can do that by managing the access in SharePoint as files in teams are stored in SharePoint. To do that, the steps are as follows: 1. In Teams, select one team and the channel, and click Files tab. 2. In files tab, click Open in SharePoint . 3. Select the file you want to edit and change access permission and open details pane by clicking the button at the upper-right corner. 4. Under Has access, select Manage access. Then you can set the permission and grant permissions to specific members via Grant access. Hope this can help you.

Index • • • • • • Authorities of a team owner Team owners take on a special role in Microsoft Teams. As the creator of a team, they have certain rights concerning the management of the team and its members, for example: • Add and remove members • Add and remove guests • Edit or delete team • Set permissions of a team for channels, tabs and connectors • Change team picture • Allow use of emojis, GIFs and memes • and more By default, a user who creates a new team is assigned the status “owner”. However, it is not uncommon for a team owner to upgrade some of their colleagues over time and make them owners as well, to give them more flexibility to do their jobs. Useful to know: A team can have up to 100 owners. In practice, it is recommended to define at least two owners to help manage the team. This prevents orphaned groups when the sole owner leaves the company. Roles and permissions In Microsoft Teams, there are only two roles available: • owner and • member. The third option is a moderator role. This can be setup by the team owner for selected channels and members. Access management when creating a team in Microsoft Teams When a team is created from an existing Microsoft 365 group, the corresponding permissions are inherited. Otherwise, the file permissions for members and guests, for example, reflect the SharePoint settings of the IT administration. These can only be changed by an IT administrator. Accordingly, a team owner has direct authority over access rights in Micro...

Hello! I am a language instructor teaching remotely this semester using Teams. I am wondering whether one is able to add a file to a channel, and edit the permissions so that only one student can view and edit it. For example, students will each have a response log where they post answers to short essay questions. I do not want students to be able to view or edit each other's logs, but I would like them all available on the channel. Note: I know how to make files and folders "Read Only," I am wondering how to further restrict access so ONLY one student can view the file. Thank you!! Alex HiAlex_10010, Thank you for choosing Microsoft forum. Regarding your concern, please try the following workaround to see if it meets your requirement. 1. Open your Teams app. Go to Teams > Select a specific team and channel > Click Files tab > Click Open in SharePoint 2. In the opened SharePoint page, you can see the specific Team and Channel. Under the Documents of your specific channel, Upload all the files that you want to share with your students. 3. Take the following as an example. Suppose you want to grant access of the file "Test sharing permission _ For Lois Lane" to only one student, named Lois Lane and give her the Edit permission. To do so, select that file "Test sharing permission _ For Lois Lane" and click Manage access on the right-hand pane. In the Manage Access pane, click the + button to add the student and edit her permission. Once completed, click Grant access. Reproduc...

Hi All, I set up a Team a couple of years back when Teams was relatively new, and I was going to clean a couple of things up (delete some channels and add a new one) and I noticed all my permissions have gone. Settings are greyed out and I can't change them, I can't add / delete / manage channels and when I go to add a user, it emails me to accept/deny the request. When I click on that link, it just takes me back to the team. I am the only owner of this team. I can seemingly do these things on Teams I'm not an owner of. Any ideas? Thanks, John Hello John, From your description, you mentioned that settings are greyed out, so could you share any screenshot about it with me to make me more aware of your problem? Besides, if there is other users in your team, please check whether you can assign owner to another user. If so, you can assign the owner role to another person and then let him remove you from the team and re-add again, then re-assign the owner role to you. What's more, if you are an Office 365 for Business user, you can contact your Office 365 admin to go to Microsoft Teams admin center to re-assign the owner role to you to check the result.

Every member in Teams has a role, and each one has different permissions. • Owners Team owners manage certain settings for the team. They add and remove members, add guests, change team settings, and handle administrative tasks. There can be multiple owners in a team. • Members Members are the people in the team. They talk with other team members in conversations. They can view and usually upload and change files. They also do the usual sorts of collaboration that the team owners have permitted. • Guests Guests are people from outside of your organization that a team owner invites, such as partners or consultants to join the team. Guests have fewer capabilities than team members or team owners, but there's still a lot they can do. Note: File permissions for members and guests reflect whatever your admin has set in your SharePoint settings. These can only be changed by your admin. The following table shows the capabilities available for each role: Capability Owner Member Guest Create a channel Participate in a private chat Participate in a channel conversation Share a channel file Share a chat file Add apps (such as tabs, bots, or connectors) Can be invited via any work or school account for Microsoft 365 Create a team Delete or edit posted messages Discover and join public teams View org chart Add or remove members and guests Edit or delete a team Set team permissions for channels, tabs, and connectors Change the team picture Add guests to a team Auto-show channels for the...
