More Information

Note: If you are not using frontline worker functionality, you can ignore this message. Coming soon in the Microsoft Teams admin center: Admins will be able to deploy location-based frontline teams where team membership is automatically managed, and team owners can also add frontline workers or remove them from teams. This rollout will allow admins to take advantage of dynamic rules to keep teams updated as members join and leave the organization and also give team owners the autonomy to manage membership at the team level. When this will happen: Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-October 2024 (previously early October) and expect to complete by late October 2024 (previously mid-October). General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late October 2024 (previously mid-October) and expect to complete by late December 2024 (previously late November).  How this will affect your organization: Before this rollout, admins are able to: Create location-based dynamic frontline teams where team membership is strictly managed with dynamic rules. Identify frontliner workers in their organization with a Microsoft Entra attribute and value pairings in the Deploy Teams at Scale tool. Assign a single team owner for all frontline teams. After this rollout, admins will be able to: Create location-based frontline teams where team membership is automatically managed with dynamic rules, while respecting manual changes made by team owners. Identify frontline workers in their organization with dynamic groups in the Deploy Teams at Scale tool. Assign multiple individuals in the organization as team owners of frontline teams. After this rollout, team owners will be able to: Add or remove frontline workers at their frontline locations if they are assigned team owner of their team. This feature is on by default.
