Bromcom O365

[Olliedawg]

Before I open a ticket with Bromcom I thought i'd just ask the hivemind here

 

Scenario :

 

We have Teams Classes for each Class group, Teams classes are created via the Bromcom o365 integration to automatically create & populate based on Group membership in Bromcom. The problem I am facing, is that members of Pastoral / SLT like to be members of certain Teams classes, which they are not a member/teacher of in Bromcom.

 

Is there a way for me to exclude them from the collection, so that they don't get removed in the next sync? I normally run a sync once per term, so isn't a major issue.. just a manual task of adding back the various SLT/Pastoral to the required teams

Hi Ollie. O365 provisioning works by taking group data and creating a one way sync to your O365 tenancy. The only way I can think of achieving this is to add SLT as coteachers in Bromcom so they are included in the provisioning sync. Are you on Bromcom's community? It might be worth asking there as there will be someone who has faced a similar issue and has developed a workflow to deal with such scenarios. You might also want to consider the api route to help with provisioning, exploring Power Automate or creating an SLT group on your tenancy that gives visibility to all the Teams as required but that will be outside the scope of Support. Feel free to raise a support ticket, but I think they will tell you the same as me. I hope that helps.

Hi Matt,

 

Thanks for the reply - I am not on the Bromcom Community or support pages, however i've asked our MIS/Data manager if she can get me set up on there. I'll take on board those suggestions & do some testing

If you go to Config>Office365 Integration > Classroom Sync (the button at the top of the screen), you should get to the list of all your sync created class teams.

If you select one of the classes, you'll get the option "Include/Exclude Users" at the top of the screen. Click on that and you'll get a window where you can manually remove or add a user to the Class Team. This won't get over-ridden by the next sync.

 

Hope this helps.

Amazing!! This should do the trick

Salamander creates our groups and maintains them daily - but it doesn't remove additional staff added manually within google classroom. Dunno if there is a fundamental difference with Teams but it's just a config option in the scripts that salamander uses for google classroom.

I also use Salamander, does a lot of useful stuff for me also - saves a lot of work! Well worth the yearly payment.

 

I let Bromcom manage + provision our 365 teams. The solution that Rob_D gave has worked a treat.

I realised when we switched to bromcom that it would be able to do some things that Salamander did.

 

BUT

 

It doesn't do anywhere near enough of them to get rid of Salamander so I left Salamander doing everything and Bromcom does nothing (for automation). When something goes wrong there's only 1 place I have to look.
