Activation of the MS 365 account

To activate Microsoft 365 with MS Teams, you must consent to the processing of your data by Microsoft in the ITS portal under ‘Declarations’.

Unlike other cloud services or widespread social networks, the Microsoft 365 Cloud fulfils European data protection standards and is not aimed at using your data for advertising purposes or similar. The provision by Microsoft then takes up to 24 hours. Teams can then be downloaded and installed at portal.office.com (login: btXXXXXX@myubt.de), for example.

Do you need your own team for your organisational unit? Please complete the form ‘Request for a team’ so that we receive all the necessary information from you.

New teams are created on an ongoing basis and our colleague Matthias Scharf is available half-time to answer your questions. We offer training courses as part of our ‘ITS Knowledge’ training series. You can find the dates in the ITS News.

Good to know: Teams are automatically deleted if they have not been used for 90 days. Before deletion, a request is sent asking whether the team should be extended. If there is no response, all data will be irrevocably deleted.
