Teams and sharepoint groups limitations
Use case: we have a lot of projects and we want to create 1 team or sharepoint site per project, so we need to create a lot of teams in MS Teams and sharepoint groups. All of this creations must be done by the same user/super user.
Problem: Since exists limitations in number of groups/teams that can have a user, I don't know if I can accomplish the use case.
Iam confused about the official documentation of Teams & groups limitations:
- There is a limit of 1000 teams a user can be member of: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams > members means permissions as "Member" or just be included in the group, an admin user can be "Owner" of more than 1k teams?.
- You can be member of 7000 groups: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/create-groups/office-365-groups?view=o365-worldwide#group-limits > again, this includes admins users that has the role "Owner" for more than 7k groups?
- Groups an admin can create: 500k
Does this means that if we have an "Admin user" (don't really know what kind of admin role are included) can create up to 500k groups?. I think that if this admin creates for ex: 10k groups, it will be owner or site admin of 10k groups and thats maybe breakes rules 1 and 2, but don't really know if this is true or I am missunderstanding the official documentation.
