How to Use Shrewd LMS as Admin
Comprehensive guide for administrators setting up and managing Shrewd LMS within Microsoft Teams.
Important Note: Shrewd LMS works natively within Microsoft Teams and does not require configuration via Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). We strongly recommend not using Azure AD groups or custom restrictions to control access, as this may cause unexpected access issues. Manage access using Microsoft Teams settings and policies only.
