GovTEAMS PROTECTED Membership Types

• Full access memberships are created for APS employees*. These memberships are allocated an Office 365 license, allowing them to access limited apps (see GovTEAMS PROTECTED vs GovTEAMS Official comparison chart). Full access members can discover other communities, members, as well as create new communities. All communities in GovTEAMS PROTECTED are private and will need the permission of the community owner to join the community.
• External memberships are created for state government, local government and private sector employees and will need to be sponsored by an agency. The cost of the licence will be the same as a full access memberships. These memberships will have similar access to Full access members except for the ability to create a community or invite other members to the community. External members can only participate in (and collaborate with other members of) communities they have been invited to.

*If you’re a contractor with an Australian Public Service email address you can also register as a full access member.
