Hi Patrick Reilly,

Thanks Christopher, I think my issue is that each year a new class comes along that creates a new group which want access to the channel! I will have to think more creatively about a work around... like making a 'supergroup' outside of Teams and having the channels connected to that. I'd need to manually add the students to the 'supergroup' even though they are already in a group based on the their Team. I'll need to give it careful thought... ChrisHoardMVP
