    Yes teachers are deleting teams rather than remove themselves from the team, would be good to lock the team from deletion.

    This is a big issue that Team Owner delete the group and We has no option to find out who is that person.

    We want to archive project spaces synced with the corresponding Team. In order to ensure auditability etc. Owners must not delete the Team after project closure.

    Looking to move my organization to Utilize more than IM and Meetings within Teams, not sure why this wasn't an option from the start, +1 for data retention requirements.

    This would be especially helpful with all of the new calling features coming down the pipeline. If you transition to using Teams for call queues and Shared Voicemail, a deleted team could mess up the whole service.

    This would be a very useful control to be able to switch on to reduce the number of support cases. We had previously stopped people creating Teams, but this is just not a collaborative way of working. Removing the ability to Delete would be a more secure option.

    Hi. We need this option ASAP. There is to many support cases where Teatchers have deleted a whole class and they are stock.

    If you create Teams for Classes, and you allow the instructors (because apparently they are owners) to delete the whole class, this is just not working.
    Also, Teachers (again, Owners) should not be able to add or remove students from a class!

    This is definitely needed. Teachers deleted team site and cannot do lessons as the rights to restore were with third party vendor.it is vital to restore

  • Michele Testa commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It would be _essential_ to introduce policies to grant team deletion permissions only to specific roles or groups.

    As already reported by other users, professors (too often) wrongly delete teams , forcing the IT department to tedious recovery operations for deleted teams
