You can delete groups in the respective tools where the group is located, such as Planner, SharePoint, and Teams. Note that if you delete a group, you delete everything that belongs to the group. For example, if you delete a group in Planner, you delete the SharePoint site and possibly the Team that belongs to the group.

To delete, go under the three dots and select Plan settings.
At the bottom of the Plan Settings dialog window, you can find the button to delete the group.

Log in with multifactor authentication, Freja eID+ and Microsoft Authenticator

2021-12-06/in Freja eID+, Microsoft 365, Multi-factor authentication

This manual shows how to log in with multifactor authentication at Umeå Universitys system.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a service that gives you increased protection when logging in to some of the university’s systems. With multi-factor authentication, you log in in two steps, which gives you extra layer of protection on top of your Umu-id and password. Umeå university uses both Microsoft Authenticator and Freja eID+ as multifactor. This means that the log-in site can look different depending on which system you’re logging in to.

Freja eID+

Freja eID plus is a free, government approved digital ID card that helps you login in some systems at Umeå university. You can prove your identity in an application on your phone instead of showing a physical legitimation card.

Follow this manual to log in with Freja eID+.

Microsoft Authenticator

The app Microsoft Authenticator means that you log in on some services with your Umu-id and password, and then you approve the log in on your app Microsoft Authenticator on your phone or hardware token.

Follow this manual to log in with Microsoft Authenticator.

The difference of how to log in with either Freja eID+ or Microsoft Authenticator

When you log in on some of the University’s system, for example Skyddade dokument, you need to choose wether you want to log in with Freja eID+ or Microsoft Authenticator. It will look like this after you’ve typed your Umu-id and password:

Choose the alternative Sign in with Microsoft authenticator if you log in with a hardware token. You also choose this alternative if you use the Microsoft authenticator app on you mobile unit.

The only alternative for log in at Microsoft 365 is Microsoft Authenticator. After you’ve typed your Umu-id and password you will directly be asked to accept the login in your Microsoft Authenticator-app. You don’t have to choose which method you want to log in with.
