My track coach made a team, and he doesn't know if he's able to give me controls, or how to. As captain, he would like to give me permissions, so I can add and delete people, from the track team on Teams. Is he able to give me permissions such as those, if so, how? Again, this is for school Teams

    Hi @Joanna 

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.         

    It appears you're looking to manage members within your school's track team on Microsoft Teams, and your coach would like to grant you the necessary permissions. 

    If your coach created a Class Team (which is common in educational settings), then: 

    • Only teachers (owners) can manage members and settings. 
    • Students (members) cannot be promoted to owners by default. 

    However, if the team was created as a standard team (not a Class Team), your coach can simply promote you to an owner. This will allow you to add or remove members, manage channels, and adjust team settings.  

    Here's how your coach can do that: 

    • Open Microsoft Teams and go to the track team. 
    • Click the three dots next to the team's name. 
    • Select Manage team.  User's image
    • Under the Members tab, find your name. 
    • Change your role from Member to Owner.

    Yes, your track coach, as the team owner, can give you permissions to manage the team, including adding and deleting members. Here’s how he can do it:

    1. Promote You to Co-Owner: Your coach can promote you to a co-owner of the team. This will grant you the necessary permissions to manage team members, including adding and removing people.
      • To do this, he needs to go to the team profile page in Microsoft Teams, select your name from the members list, and choose the option to promote you to co-owner.
    2. Manage Permissions: Once you are a co-owner, you will have the ability to perform tasks such as adding or removing members from the team.

    For more detailed instructions, your coach can refer to the documentation on managing teams and roles in Microsoft Teams.
