Disabled users removed from Teams
chai1900 - I spoke with our team today regarding your question.
Teams has some background workflows today that perform actions on behalf of existing owners when syncing changes from Groups to Teams. There is planned work to move this to a system context so it will not show up as a random owner doing it. I do not know the timeline at this time.In addition, there is an ask to suppress the 'user left the team' message and we are doing some work to mitigate this so that information is not shown in the general channel as it is today. I urge you to vote on this UserVoice item if you agree that the join / removed names should not be listed in the General channel to everyone. you can find that here: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/35515990-users-added-to-team-line-removed - The team is aware of this ask and working on that experience now - additional votes may influence timing of this one.Thank you for sharing the context for the ask.
Raechel Moermond we have the same issue occurring as of Friday last week. Also seeing posts on the general channel for users being added by 'X', who definitely did not actually add them, including "unknown users". We're currently trying to understand why users are suddenly being added/removed, why some are showing as "unknown", and why Teams is claiming that a particular Teams owner has performed the action when they did not.
chai1900 From what I can tell, this event happened Wednesday for my customer. I didn't get the notice from the customer until Friday, but I can see in the string of emails that it happened Wednesday.
Thanks Raechel Moermond . I've just checked some of the other Teams sites in our tenancy, and can see instances of users being added to a Team by an owner who did not add them, being logged as early as Tuesday 31st March.
