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.
can you give me the links to any other posts? It seems nobody has an answer to my question here, so i'm hoping there's something more on the other posts
As nobody got back to us I ended up running our own investigation with a third party. The best they could come up with was an update from Microsoft had caused a bug in the way that it reports additions and removals from a team when membership is managed automatically by an active directory group (and mistakenly reports that a Team owner performed an action). They suspect this will be fixed or patched later, but we are raising it with Microsoft anyway for more information.
We haven't been able to determine whether the Owner that teams picks in its message is a random owner, or determined by another factor.
