Team Request App is a Microsoft Teams app that allows users to request a new Team through a managed, controlled process (compared to the standard process in Teams).
This app allows the following when requesting a Team:
- Enforce a naming policy - Supports Azure AD group naming policies, ensuring the chosen Team name contains the required suffixes/prefixes and does not contain any blocked words before attempting to create the Team
- Team visibility - Define whether the Team is public (visible to all) or private (invite-only) and what the default value is
- Guest access - Choose whether guests are to be allowed in the Team and what the default value is
- Team template - Choose a custom Team template (configured in Teams Admin Center). This template can contain preconfigured channels, tabs and apps
- Team owners and members - Search for owners and members of your Team. A minimum numnber of owners is enforced
When a Team is requested, the app will attempt to provision the Team and the user can see the status of this and previous requests:
