Seemingly random "{user} has been removed from this team"
Alex_Franklin Thanks for posting this problem.
I have been encountering something very similar where a message appears saying that I have removed someone from a Team when I know I have not done so. Seeing your message and the replies now gives me a starting point in how to address this issue. I have a lot of confused colleagues asking why I have removed other colleagues from various teams - when I have not done so. Thanks - Phil.

Phil_W_2001I just started searching for some answers because it looks like I am also unknowingly removing people from teams. I am a global admin and usually the creator of all the teams. My suspicion is that maybe a user left the team on their own and a default message is shown. I will open a ticket with Microsoft to look into it.

Dear Igor Karon
Thanks for offering to open a ticket on this issue.
I'm either the sole administrator or a co-administrator on the Teams where this is happening. Good to know that this is an issue - well reassuring to know not an isolated incident. Thanks for letting me know you have similar issues though I am sorry to hear you're suffering from the same problem. If I hear anything useful from our technical people (I work for a university and I have just flagged it up as an issue) I will let you know via this forum.
Regards from, Phil

In my case it was a user disabled in AD and when removed from a team it used a random owner name for the message. Per Microsoft it is a bug: "Also mentioned in the article above that there is planned work to move this to a system context so it will not show up as a random owner doing it but there is no timeline at this time." Here is the link they send me to:
