Request provision of a workspace

Last updated Teams App

AI summary

Users of the Rencore Teams App can request new workspaces (teams, SharePoint sites, Microsoft 365 groups, Planner plans, or Viva Engage communities) from templates you have created, with no special role required. They select a template, enter the workspace name and description, configure optional visibility and sensitivity settings, assign owners and members, and submit the request for provisioning. Requests can be tracked to monitor their status.

Create a Provisioning Request for a new workspace (a team, a SharePoint site, a Microsoft 365 group, a Planner plan or a Viva Engage community) in the Rencore Teams App. Use this when you need a new workspace that your organization creates from a template.

Before you begin
