Assigning Microsoft Teams teams to Azure Active Directory user accounts
Teams can be directly or indirectly assigned to Azure Active Directory user accounts through Office 365 groups. All members of the Office 365 group are members of the team.
In the case of indirect assignment, employees and Office 365 groups are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. The Office 365 groups assigned to an employee are calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If you add an employee to roles and that employee owns an Azure Active Directory user account, the Azure Active Directory user account is added to the Office 365 group.
Furthermore, Office 365 groups can be requested through the Web Portal. To do this, add employees to a shop as customers. All Office 365 groups are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested Office 365 groups are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.
Through system roles, Office 365 groups can be grouped together and assigned to employees and workdesks as a package. You can create system roles that contain only Office 365 groups. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.
To react quickly to special requests, you can assign Office 365 groups directly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.
