Admitting lobby people
Right click on the TESTE user and select "Make an attendee" and then test if you get the option to admit people from the lobby.
I can confirm that everyone in the meeting is getting the popup when someone is waiting, and is allowed to admit them.
This is a huge security/privacy issue. In our case, it was a shareholder's meeting that was admitting participants one at a time. However, unfamiliar participants that saw the popup blindly clicked "Admit" and started adding people to the meeting before they were supposed to join.
This doesn't make sense -- only the Organizer or those marked as Presenter should be allowed to Admit people from the lobby. You should not have to manually mark people as an "Attendee" to prevent this (which I don't even know if that works, we didn't try).
Edit:
This appears to be the case because by default teams makes everyone a "Presenter". It looks like if we change the global policy (or individual meeting policy) for "Roles that have presenter rights in meetings" to "Organizers, but user can override", then everyone joins as an Attendee and not a Presenter.
Why the default option for this setting is to make everyone a presenter is beyond me...
Initial filter of who arrives in lobby is pointless unless only those with a direct invite can get in. The larger the corporation the fewer that actually know the thousands of employees in a department that might attend, much less know who is on a given distribution list which may include external colleagues.
