SharePoint

SharePoint Online is a cloud-based platform that enables groups to collaborate, share and publish documents or web content using a variety of template options. It provides a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from almost any device and all major web browsers.

SharePoint sites can be Teams-connected or standalone. To learn more about SharePoint, including guidance on site governance, best practices, sample sites, cool features and more, visit our site at https://uoft.me/sharepoint.

This shared service is operated and managed by Information Technology Services through EASI and is available to staff and faculty who have been migrated to Microsoft 365. Departments or units may request site collection(s) to create SharePoint sites where faculty, staff, and/or students may collaborate online. Designated staff members act as “site owners” that design and manage their site(s) to best serve local faculty and staff needs. SharePoint access is distributed and managed by independent local site owners.

There is no cost for this service.

To view SharePoint sites you have access to, click the globe icon in the left menu panel. Each team in Microsoft Teams is associated with a corresponding SharePoint site, which serves as a shared space for collaboration.

Requesting a SharePoint site

Faculty and staff members may request a SharePoint site.

  • To initiate the process of obtaining a new SharePoint site or gaining access to an existing one, your first step is to reach out to your local or divisional IT services.
  • If you do not have a local IT group, you can request a site via the IT Service Centre.
