Setting up a new member of staff

Last updated on Oct 02, 2026

Give us a few days' notice and a new person can start work on their first morning with everything ready.

Send us

  • Full name and job title
  • Start date
  • Who they replace, if anyone
  • Which shared mailboxes, folders and Teams they need
  • Whether they need a new computer or will use an existing one

What we set up

  • Their Microsoft 365 account, email and licence
  • Access to the right shared mailboxes, files and Teams
  • The second sign-in step with the Microsoft Authenticator app
  • Their computer, ready to log in

On their first morning

They sign in with the temporary password we give you, choose their own password, and set up the Authenticator app. See "Setting up the Microsoft Authenticator app".
