MyHub Workspace (Team & Group) Types

When creating a workspace, MyHub will take you through a series of questions to create the Team that best fits your needs.

The two Team options are:

  • Academic, Administrative, or Research Workspace
  • Student Managed Workspace

Note: When initiating a workspace, consider the primary role you are assuming.

Information

MS Teams workspaces in MyHub are created as Private. This helps ensure workspaces are created with adequate security measures. Private means only the members added will be able to join the Teams, while Public means that anyone in the organization can join via a link, code, or searching in Teams, without needing approval.

Teams can be changed from Private to Public on your desktop using these instructions:

To change the privacy settings for your team from public to private (or vice versa), go to the team name and select More options  ... > Edit team toward the bottom of the menu. Under Privacy, select either Public or Private.

Academic, Administrative, or Research Workspace

An Academic, Administrative, or Research Workspace is for group collaboration and file storage. For most team types, a minimum of 2 Mason employees are required to host the workspace. Examples include:

  • Department Collaboration
  • Convene a team to develop an idea, complete a project, or share resources and information with others
  • Collaboration for a specific course and section
  • Projects or research work

Student Managed Workspace

A Student Managed Workspace is for group collaboration and file storage. The workspace is hosted by a student and requires a minimum of 2 owners. Examples include:

  • Collaborate, conduct research, and share resources with peers for course-related work
  • Create a team for your student organization
  • Communicate with peers around a specific topic or interest, develop an idea, or share resources
