Creating smaller groups within a Teams channel?

You can't subdivide a channel. Solution is to use private channels: then only people who you give access to will see the information in that channel. If you are not part of a private channel, you can't see it. Here is how to set them up, when creating the channel create them as private as opposed to standard channels and add the required users

Hope that answers your question

You could do this with Teams templates if using teams

However, like channels you would just need to manage the Teams so you don't create too many 😄 In the case of Teams, however, you can look to use Team expiration policies so if they aren't used for say 90 days, the teams are automatically removed.
Hope that helps

That sounds great! Will look into the template, sounds like a perfect solution.
The program runs for about 90 days so I can delete the team after it has finished the program.
Thanks so much for your support, I really appreciate it!
