Blocked accounts removed from Microsoft Teams even though they're still in the O365 Group!
philmaynard_wap We have this same issue and an open ticket with Microsoft as the users who are "blocked" and being removed from the Team are shown as being removed by an owner on the team. So, owners are reaching out - "Hey, I didn't remove Marylou, why are you removing her?"
I am the owner of multiple groups and we just had to furlough many employees due to C-19.
So, the audit trail shows that I have removed hundreds of users, when in fact I did no such thing. What is to stop my security people from running an audit and assume I have maliciously removed users?
- Jan - this is exactly what we are running into - could you let me know which audit report you are using?
We are facing this on two fronts. First of which is that the owners are getting upset at us as its saying they removed the user when in fact the only thing that has happened to them is they were disabled in AD, AD Connect syncs that to Azure AD and is a normal part of leaving the company. They are most upset as this has a negative impact on morale with larger groups. But even if its by design it cant say something that isnt true, the owner didnt remove them, that must be fixed. We opened a case and are working with support now on it.
oh the other front is that if you remove a owner via Azure AD they magically get added back into the team days later again phantom style "by the owner" even though they didnt.
- Pretty sure there are other logs for the group or other actions that show the admin removing it.
ChrisWebbTech I am sure there are too - but Teams shouldn't divert admin actions to the "owners" of the Team. Thank you.
