Developer API to read/create teams and channels in them.
Slack has dev api to list teams/channels and perform bunch of management operations. It would be great if there's something similar available in Microsoft Teams as well.

See usage stats per team in Admin Center
We need to be able to see usage stats per team in admin center. Current stats show usage per user. This tells us very little as a user can be a member of multiple teams. Business area owner and rollout/adoption managers want to be able to select a team and see how much activity per week/month etc. In our case, this is the only metric that they're interested in.
210 votesThe Teams Admin Center has this functionality.
We are tracking analytics as a Team owner in this item: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/37398805.

Import EXISTING O365 group, but restrict NEW group creation
Would like to see more administration options regarding O365 group creation and publishing to Teams.
Currently there is only 1 option - turn new O365 group creation OFF at all or allow to create groups everywhere.Would be good to allow owners import already existing O365 groups example (or give admins option to allow users to do that).
In our example we have controlled way (self-service portal) where users can order new O365 groups, but problem is that if we can control new O365 creation there, this group is not added into Teams after creation. And there is possibility now…45 votesUsers should now have the ability to convert an existing Office 365 group to a team even though team creation is disabled for them.
Users will be able to do this by simply clicking on “Add team” in the “Teams” left rail, then clicking on the “Create team” tile in the team gallery. This should bring them straight to the list of Office 365 groups they can convert as long as they are currently a group owner.

*English follows Japanese
■Title(件名)：
Microsoft Teams 管理センターからチームを作成する際のエラーについてAllow us to use multi-byte characters to name a new team created from Microsoft Teams admin center
■Description(内容):
現在、Microsoft Teams 管理センターからチーム名に日本語をはじめとするマルチバイト文字が含まれていると、"このチームを作成できませんでした" のエラーが表示される。
Microsoft Teams 管理センターからチーム名に日本語をはじめとするマルチバイト文字が含まれている場合でも、チーム作成が完了するよう機能改善を希望します。The error " We couldn’t create this team " is displayed when creating a team via Microsoft Teams admin center if the team name contains multi-byte character such as Japanese.
I hope this behavior will be corrected so that I can create a new team with Japanese name.Thank you for your consideration.

Poor admin portal Teams name search
Need to have partial searching in the Manage Teams area of the Admin Portal. We only have 100 teams so far and it's already getting unmanageable as the search only matches from the start of the Team name e.g. Team called "Business Development" doesn't appear in search results for 'Development'.
Additionally, not being able to sort the columns or export the list is very unhelpful.
2 votesA fix for this was released Jan ’20. Thanks!

Have you got a simple introduction to the overall logic of Teams / Groups / subsides / Teamsites - perhaps even a data entity map?
How about an overall view of the relationship between the different logical data entities and the Apps that access them?
