    We need it as some site owner deleted few Groups from Teams, hence all the members associated to this Group cannot access to SharePoint site

    Like many others we are having the same issue. Some teachers have unknowingly deleted the whole team a few times and especially during these lockdowns this is the last thing you want. Could this feature be added please?

    We are trying to use Teams as a VLE at out college, but some tutors keep deleting their team instead of leaving it please add this option ASAP

    I agree - there need to be admin setting - which cannot be accessed by owners. we have had the situation twice now where a team has been deleted (we think by accident) and it also deleted the connected onenote book - major issue as all our students resources are in there

    When it was just a SharePoint site, a site owner had the ability to delete the site, but it wasn't a big deal because they had to intentionally go into site settings to do it, and they didn't work in an interface where the site was listed in their face every day, in a way they might want to 'unsubscribe' from sites when their list gets too long.

    But now it's a team, an O365 group, and a SharePoint site... and that executive who wanted to be an owner but really isn't engaged in team ownership, well he's looking at his Teams interface and he's not so concerned about this one team anymore. So he clicks "delete team" to get it out of his list, and he doesn't know he just scheduled the O365 group and the SharePoint site for immediate deletion... he didn't even know the SharePoint site had anything to do with the team... his group wasn't really using the team side, they were just used to working out of SharePoint.

    Long story short, I had to restore the site from the deleted sites bin in SharePoint. And certainly the culprit wasn't forthcoming with the fact he screwed up... I had to spend too much time going through the audit logs to uncover how it happened. Then I had to call him out.

    This could all be avoided by granularly providing a "delete site" specific permission level which could be applied to team/site owners, restricting their ability to delete the site/team.

    Deleting a team deletes the SharePoint site and the Group. This is far too much power given to the owner of the Team. There needs to be a setting to prevent this, at least on a team-by-team basis, because delegating ownership of specific teams to subject matter experts is important, but gives too much power to accidentally delete.

    Acho muito importante a opção de impedir o owner de excluir um grupo ou equipe do teams.
