05-01 Creating contacts and teams

What you need to know

Contacts in UNIverse is comparable to address books in mobile applications such as contacts on a cell phone. You can access the system address book (university staff and students) or add your own contacts.

For each contact, you also get information about which files or objects you have shared with that person, giving you a quick overview of your collaboration.

In addition, Contacts allows you to create teams. Teams are groups of people that you can create yourself and with whom you can share data. These teams can consist of accounts or account groups from UNIverse, or contacts from an address book or external people and their email addresses.

Detailed user documentation for Contacts can be found on the Nextcloud website.
