Teams Manager is the perfect complement to our governance and adoption strategy for teams. It provides a way for us to intelligently apply naming conventions, metadata, and lifecycles to teams without a request process and maintain freedom for the teams facility for trained users.

Microsoft Teams Management FAQ

A list of frequently asked questions concerning Microsoft Teams Management.

How do I manage Microsoft Teams?

The question of how to manage Microsoft Teams is not an easy one. There are a lot of different elements to Microsoft Teams management. There is governance of the Teams environment and structure itself, but also governance of guest users, governance of third-party apps, permission management, data security and many many more. We offer a Microsoft Teams governance workshop where you can gain an overview of what is necessary to successfully manage Microsoft Teams.

Is it possible to request new teams in Microsoft Teams?

Basically, there is no standard process from Microsoft to request new Teams. The easiest way is to use the Teams Manager from the Teams App Store. However, a request process via a Power App can also help.

How do I set the lifecycle of a team?

Retention policies for M365 groups can be created directly in the Admin Center. See the documentation on how to create and configure retention policies. However, only one policy can be rolled out to all teams in the Admin Center. Type-specific lifecycles for teams that serve different purposes can be defined using Teams Manager.

How do I archive a team in Microsoft Teams?

Any Teams Owner can manually archive teams via the “Manage Teams” feature. An automated process for archiving and reactivating teams is provided by Teams Manager. This way, the owner is directly reminded and asked if he still needs a team. Teams can also be reactivated via this function.

Where can I configure team templates?

The configuration of the templates can be done in the Teams Admin Center by a person with the appropriate authorization. However, these templates are very limited and cannot deliver content with them. Teams Manager even allows predefined content in One Note and Planner with its own templates.

How do I define naming conventions in teams?

Different naming conventions for teams with different purposes can only be defined in Teams via third-party providers like Teams Manager. Here you can easily decide when to apply which naming convention for a team.

Can I force a second owner when creating Teams?

Microsoft Teams only requires one owner when creating new teams. An additional owner can be enforced via the Teams Manager.
