I need separate Teams environments
I like Teams. However, I am a consultant, and member of Teams in a major client corporation. Now I am considering Teams for other venues, such as other clients, or clubs, etc. I am concerned that all the Teams seems to access each other. Is there no way to have separate environments, so that no member of one environment's teams can possibly access a team in a different environment? If there is a way to create this separation, how can I do it?
- Hi!
If you have different organizations Etc they should probably be in different tenants. One for each. That way there’s no access between them more than federation and guest access if needed!
By keeping them separated by Teams alone, you can keep files and chats separated by permission and private teams. all users will be in the same directory, belong to the same org. You can disable private chat, use information barriers etc but I suggest you think this over.

Adam- Hi Adam. I think you understand my problem. I frankly do not know what tenants are -- can you direct me to info? The corporate clients have their own servers, but I am home office and located, so no server here.
Thanks so much for your attention.,
Cheers,
EridHello ericmca A tenant is another name for a unique organization so it's not about having a server. If you work from home, you can still be a member of your employer's tenant, for example. Client A would have its own tenant, Client B its own, etc. There is a ton of resource material online but you can start with this: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/what-is-a-tenant/
Hope this gets you started in the right direction....
