What to Know About Teams at Syracuse
- Team Names - SU enforces a naming convention that ensures that all Team names are unique. This allows for easier discovery when looking for a specific team in the user interfaces.
- Names will be automatically prefixed with "Group-". This is to show that it is a group/team created by a user.
- Names will be automatically suffixed with number if there is a group/team that already exists with that name.
- Syracuse University - ITS may change the name of the group if it conflicts with official university departmental names. Some of the official names are located in the Brand Lock-Up Directory.
- Email to Team channels is allowed by default.
- Restricted to emails sent form @syr.edu addresses and sub domains.
- Email to a channel can be restricted to its members only (Team owners can control this).
