Group Policy Assignment Support for Additional Policies in Teams Powershell Module

Microsoft is now extending group policy assignment support to additional policy types via Teams PowerShell Module (TPM). Admins can create new groups in Microsoft 365 admin center or can use existing groups to assign custom policies for various policy types in Teams PowerShell Module.

As your organization expands, your requirements become increasingly nuanced and multifaceted. A “one size fits all” approach is no longer tenable.

This will help community managers establish their initial community membership, bring over members from another community, or migrate from another community platform. Community managers can add up to 20,000 members and the upload can take up to 24 hours to process.
