Activate teams for part of my organisation
I have the answer, it's in the (very good) admin https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Frequently-asked-questions-about-Microsoft-Teams-%E2%80%93-Admin-Help-05cbe533-2181-4e95-a4b0-52cd7695fafc, which I have just come across:
Can I enable Microsoft Teams for only a portion of the organization?
At this time, user-level control is not yet available. Administrators can control access only at the organization level. We expect this capability to be available soon . After it is available, you can turn on or turn off the Microsoft Teams license for individual users.
That's great to know the feature can be expected soon.
It seems that there now is a solution coming, where you could disable Teams on an organizational level, but give individuals access. This is a message from 23th of December in our message center:
”Previously, Microsoft Teams access could only be managed via an organization-level on/off switch. With this update, user access to Microsoft Teams can now be managed via user licenses as well as at the organizational level. This makes it easy to pilot Microsoft Teams within your organization before rolling it out broadly. As enabling per user licensing results in a sign-in blocker for anyone without their license enabled, we will begin to adhere to user license assignments the week of January 9th to provide you time to make licensing changes within your organization.”
