Use of MCommunityĪn MCommunity group manages all Team Folder access and membership at the parent level. Team Folder names cannot have any punctuation except for dashes and underscores. If you believe the prefix is incorrect (e.g., your department is not under that college or business division), please contact the ITS Service Center.
