Microsoft Teams Email - Orphaned Teams

Publishers Voleer
1

Overview

Team owners know best what content should be stored, who should have access to it and methods to collaborate on it. If a team becomes orphaned, not only does this risk the team going into read only mode if quotas are exceeded, but leaves the burden on IT whom won’t necessarily have the content knowledge to make the best decision for how to administer the team.

This template helps by identifying teams that no longer have an active owner, thus avoiding the situation of an orphaned team.

How it works

The template processes data from the Microsoft Teams Activity dataset to identify Teams without owners.

Teams are considered orphaned if

  • There are no owners
  • Accounts associated with owners are blocked
