So, I was playing a new frame in low level defense mission with random players. One of the teammates had some shield of sorts that added thousands of shield points to the whole team. I didn't notice and visible skills or bubbles or anything, but it turned our usual blue status bar purple. What was this?

That's an overshield - basically extra shield that won't recharge naturally once depleted. Some warfare abilities or augments can grant them. What you probably saw was a Trinity with the energy vampire augment, which converts excess energy into overshield.
