Managing Team Site Memberships
You must be logged in and have Leader or Moderator access rights to the team site.

Add a New User
From the team site main page, click "Add new user" at the bottom of the Site Members web part.
Enter a name or email address (works best if you surround first and last name or email address with double quotes, followed by a semi-colon, e.g., "[email protected]"; ) and wait for the name choice display to appear; select the appropriate account. Potential members must have an account with DAU. If adding multiple names, you must add them all with the same permission level.
Note: If you cannot find the user with the above method, you may request the user supply you with his/her Empower Identity (EID) user name or DAUID number. The user can find these by signing in to EID (https://identity.dau.edu), clicking the down arrow beside his/her name at the top right corner of the page, and choosing View Profile from the menu. The DAUID number is clearly marked, and the EID user name is listed as DAU Login.
After adding a name(s), click "Show Options" (will display as "Hide Options" after you click it) to reveal the permission level drop-down menu. Make your selection and then click the Share button. Be sure to add new members in the Team Members group first, then add them for any additional rights that you wish to grant them.
A variety of permission groups exist, from which you can choose. This image shows the groups names available for team spaces (the team name will change for each space, e.g., this one is for the IAC team site) and each group’s associated permission level.
To view a detailed description of each permission level, click the Gear at the top right of your screen and choose Site Settings. Once there, choose Site Permissions under the Users and Permissions area.
Click Permissions in the task ribbon, then choose Manage > Permission Levels.
The description of what each permission level can do is listed to the right of that permission level.

To act upon a request, click the ellipsis to the right of the requester's name; from the pop-up window, you will be able to approve or to deny the request. You may also choose to send the requester a message.
You may also access the approval panel by going to Site Settings and clicking the link for "Access requests and invitations".
