Handling Missing Owner Entry Notification in Teams Manager

Introduction

This article addresses a specific issue reported in Teams Manager concerning the absence of a notification or pop-up message during the team creation process when a policy requiring two team owners is set.

Problem Statement

  • Issue: In Teams Manager, users do not receive an immediate notification or pop-up during the initial stages of team creation when they fail to meet the requirement of having two team owners, as per the set policy.
  • User Impact: This leads to confusion and a potential delay in team creation, as users proceed without meeting necessary policy criteria.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Understanding the Workaround:

    • The provided workaround involves maintaining the original two-owner policy while creating an additional policy package.
  2. Creation of a Dummy Policy Package:

    • In Teams Manager, navigate to policy package settings.
    • Create a new policy package, referred to as a 'dummy' policy.
    • Ensure this package only enables the two-owner policy.
    • Keep the policy execution part of this dummy package empty.
  3. Implementing the Workaround:

    • Apply this dummy policy package along with the original policy.
    • Monitor the team creation process to ensure the notification for two owners is displayed as required.
  4. Feedback and Reporting:

    • Provide feedback on the effectiveness of this workaround.
    • Report any continuing issues to the support team for further assistance.

Additional Tips
