Can a Teams Channel name start with space?
Dear Community, I am facing an issue fetching the children of a teams channel when the channel name is renamed and starts with empty space. Ex: Original Channel Name: "Test" Renamed Channel Name: " Test 123" This page does not mention anything on this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams Any help or hints are much appreciated. Thanks Pramod Vedala
How to add Metadata to Groups
Hello, I am getting quite frustrated with any kind of metadata in Entra ID especially on groups. I used to put a lot of information like product , responsible , location etc. in either the name or the description of a group but since this information is most of the time confusing and irrelevant for the members of the group, I wanted to come up with something better. Now it seems that for some reason Microsoft denies any kind of metadata in Entra ID to be added to most objects especially groups. Overall it seem Microsoft does not see value in providing tags similar to the ones in Azure to any object type in Entra ID and I wonder why is that? I checked out the new "Custom Security Attributes" feature, turns out, its only available for users and applications.... Then I thought we are using directory extensions on applications and users already, it would be useful to use on groups as well. Now according to the documentation groups are also supported, great. But then there is the limitation that you can not update mail enabled and distribution groups via Graph API 😡. Well majority of groups are mail enabled.... Now I am forced to use the EXO module which limits the possibility of automating this quite much (requires PowerShell) but even with this you can not set directory extensions. Why is this so bad by design? How can I add metadata to groups now? Cheers
Missing added files (v1.0/me/drive/recent?$top=1000)
Missing added files In LMS we allow customers to add recent files across organization as course materials. We fetch recent files via graph API call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/recent?$top=1000 . Typical scenario for adding files would be the following. 1) user puts file from his PC to whatever location in sharepoint 2) he edits course and sees his file, and its added Currently user won't be able to see his files. Just uploaded files by user are missing from this query results. To make files appear user have to go to sharepoint and click Preview, then Download, then try rename files to make them appear in the query results. It would be very uncofmortable for user (and for our support to explain) to do it to make files appear. Can you please show just added files in https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/recent?$top=1000 call. Just in case we contacted Microsoft Support 3 times already 2 years ago with no promises to fix it, but new client has same situation, so I decided to post it here as well. Thanks.

Best practices for use of service accounts
We are fairly early in our journey on the use of Power Platform and SharePoint online. Some devs in the org have done some pretty cool things with Power Platform, Graph etc, but their solutions all run under their own accounts. I'm getting more and more questions now on how we can make these run under a generic service account so that these solutions are not dependent on the dev's account remaining active. Do you guys use service accounts? One account for all solutions? A different account for each solution? How do you license these accounts? Do you give the credentials to devs or is there a way to create a token? Looking for some ideas and best practices. Thanks.
