About provisioning: I understand we can now apply sensitivity labels to Teams and all underlying channels and SharePoint sites. But can we also set these labels during provisioning? If someone requests a sensitive Team, we want the labels to be applied automatically.

Thanks Frédérique. This is great feedback. Are you requesting this ability in Teams admin center? Or are you requesting that sensitivity labels be auto-assigned to teams created by end-users? Pls clarify.
- Frédérique HarmszeNov 09, 2021Brass ContributorWe are hoping to create & provision Teams via templates. If the end-user request a sensitive type of Team, e.g. a finance Team, we'd like the sensitivity label to be set automatically.
- Nov 11, 2021This is rolling out now. ”Sensitivity labels enable admins to protect and regulate access to sensitive organization content. We now support sensitivity labels when creating teams with templates.” https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=84232
- Raphael_KoellnerNov 09, 2021Learn ExpertI create a provisioning process with Forms and PowerShell to create a Teams from a Template and add a Sensitivity Label the Use choose. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-docs/blob/public/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels-teams-groups-sites.md It´s also possible to list all Teams and add a default label on all Teams. Template idea: Today you choose a Label and can create a team from scratch. You want to add the Template, too. For example you choose a label like "Internal" and the template (Manage a project) will be created with the Label and the policies work, so that no external has Access and it´s a private team. Thats a good idea!
