Hi there,
as Staff offboards from M365, we want to give them the possibility to keep their Teams Environment, as they continue to volunteer in the org.
Right now, I can invite someone to teams as a guest and they can use it, without any licences. That is, what I want to achieve for the former staff members.
Is it enough to remove the licence, or will their Teams data be deleted within 30 days as well
Step 6 - Remove and delete the Microsoft 365 license from a former employee - Microsoft 365 admin | ...
When you remove the license, all that user's data is held for 30 days. You can access the data, or restore the account if the user comes back. After 30 days, all the user's data (except for documents stored on SharePoint Online) is permanently deleted from Microsoft 365 and can't be recovered.
Or do we also need to change the usertype from member to guest in the EntraID Userobject?
Still, will this be enough, or will the data be removed anyways?
The convert to an external User won't do it, as I read, there will be a clean Teams environment/account and the former data is gone.
Any help for clarification is much appreciated
Michael
