Accept or deny requests to join a team

Team members can send requests to add members to a team, and team owners will receive an alert for any pending requests. As a team owner, you have the ability to accept or deny requests to join your team:

• If you have a manually-managed team (i.e., team Owner(s) add/remove members via the "Manage Team" setting in MS Teams.), you can add members by accepting the pending requests you received on Teams. See the instructions below for more information.

• If you have a maillist-managed team (i.e., team Owner(s) add/remove members via SFU Maillist), this functionality to accept/deny requests will not work. To add any members to your team, please add them via the maillist.

Step 1. In MS Teams, go to a team you would like to manage and select the "More options" icon.

Step 2. From the drop-down menu, select "Manage team".

Step 3. In the "Pending Requests" tab, select "Accept" or "Deny" to approve or decline the requests.
