Moira Groups

In addition to managing individual users, you can use Moira groups to control permissions.

• For more information visit Email Lists Landing Page.

Note: The moira group you are using must be a group, rather than just a list, in order to use it for permissions.

Storage

Team sites are granted 5TB of space and can request more information from the IS&T Service Desk up to 25TB. While we cannot grant additional quota space, if a team needs additional space they can be granted additional Team sites.
