SharePoint News Connector in Microsoft Teams and Hub Sites
Well considering the "Hub" site can't be a group site it makes sense. But also when you step back and think about it, you can't really do this from a permission standpoint.
If you setup a connector for news, is it going to roll up news that you have permission to and post it to the channel even if someone in the Team doesn't have access to that sub hub site's news? There is kind of a security barrier their and could be problematic because of that.
I want that capability too but some thinking around how that security works needs done. IMO a quick win would be allow news connector to post news from any site with the "Everyone" permission groups. Since most people use these permission groups for hub site scenarios I think this would be a valid use case for that connector without having to worry about that security boundary so much.
Curious what Mark-Kashman your thoughts might be on this. Have you guys thought about opening up the ShareNews connector a bit more for Teams, because right now just pulling in your current Team news is kind of worthless to be honest cause most Teams are small and not really utilizing this feature. But if we could connect it to a hub, and it pull "everyone" permission set news into Teams so we can pull in Org news to Teams that would be fantastic.
