SharePoint and Teams Site Management Changes

Changes are coming to how SharePoint and Teams sites are managed!

Microsoft Teams: site owners will now receive an email notification if no activity is detected across their SharePoint site over a six-month period (previously 14 months). Inactivity emails will be sent to site owners once a month from noreplySharePoint@uwaterloo.ca. Site owners should continue to evaluate whether the site is required or if the site should be deleted and chose the appropriate action within the email. Learn more about inactive SharePoint sites and site owner responsibilities.

SharePoint/Teams: sites now require a minimum of two active site owners. Site management guidelines outline the rationale for this change and the responsibilities of site owners. An email message will be sent to existing site owners/site admins/managers or previous site owners (if this information is available) if a site does not currently meet the new site management guidelines.  Please ensure your site has at least two site owners as soon as possible.
