Views: 1

Let us assume you are a Teams Administrator for a company. You will perform operational tasks as a Teams administrator- creating and modifying teams and groups, managing membership, managing licenses, and recovering deleted teams.

To manage MS Teams collaboration, you will manage chat and collaboration experiences such as team settings or private channel creation policies. You will manage settings for Teams apps such as app setup policies, Apps, bots & connectors in MS Teams or might be publishing a custom app in Microsoft Teams.

As an Administrator, you need to perform below tasks:

  • Create a Team from a Microsoft 365 Group
  • Create a Team by using PowerShell
  • Create a Team by using Microsoft Graph API
  • Create a Team with dynamic membership

Let’s explore how to create a Team from M365 group via a desktop client

1. Create a Team from a Microsoft 365 Group

You are an administrator so login to MS TEAMS desktop application. In left side pane, select Teams icon and then Join or create a Team.

2. Choose the option- Create a team

3. Two different options to create a team, so let’s select From a group or team.

4. New window pops up now, Choose M365 group from Create a new team from something you already own page.

Note: I created a team earlier- IT-Department.

5. Select the group “IT-Department”, then select Create. So, you can see a teams is created from existing M365 group.

6. Let’s Manage Team. Please check the team owner and members.
