Workgroups

A workgroup is a joint folder on the network drive (usually the J-drive). The workgroup can be open for a special objective or to a special group, and will only be accessible to members of this group. It allows you to save documents and share them with colleagues from other departments. 

The workgroup is only accessible from a physical university workplace or via the Remote Werkplek. You can apply for a workgroup via ISSC.

Microsoft Teams

With Microsoft Teams, you can collaborate with each other anywhere. You can chat, meet, call and collaborate and work on files together. Read more about collaboration in MS Teams.

Sharepoint team site

A team site allows you to share documents, post announcements, maintain task lists, and organize a discussion forum. 

A SharePoint team site can only be accessed outside the University with your ULCN account. You can apply for a Sharepoint team site via ISSC. The person who applies for the team site becomes the administrator and can add other participants himself.
