Hi All,
Apologies if this has been asked a million times (I checked the stickies but couldn't see the answers I was looking for). I work for an IT solutions provider and we deal with O365 all the time but only in a commercial setting. We're currently involved in a project to roll-out O365 Education for a small school that we work with (the school itself is part of a larger care organisation) and this is new territory for us so I was trying to find some advice on it. I've done a lot of Googling but there seems to be very little information out there.
Some questions:
At the moment they have a few 'all staff' SharePoints / Document Libraries accessible with the "Everyone except external users" group. As I understand it this group would also contain student users, so what's the best way to identify student vs. faculty users moving forward? are there any built-in groups for this or do you have to manually create Staff/Student groups and secure appropriately?
In terms of locking things down for student users; are there any obvious gotchas here to look out for? We already restrict the ability to create new Sharepoints and new Teams Groups but are there any others?
What do you guys normally do about Student email accounts? Are there any guides out there for configuring Exchange 365 to appropriately lock these down? Potentially we would only want students to be able to send emails to the teaching staff and no one else
If anyone could provide anything information on this or a link to a good admin guide then it would be much appreciated!! I figure that most of these issues will be faced by every school using the platform so I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there are easy preset configurations for all this stuff!
Many thanks in advance,
Olly
