Microsoft Teams admin center
The admin portal used to manage Microsoft Teams objects such as teams, channels, and the policies that control messaging, meetings, and app behavior.
The Microsoft Teams admin center (admin.teams.microsoft.com) is the dedicated portal where administrators create and manage teams, configure channels, and apply messaging, meeting, calling, and app permission policies to users or groups. It is separate from the Microsoft 365 admin center, which handles licensing and user accounts but lacks Teams-specific policy controls. A key exam distinction is that policies here are assigned per-user or per-group and override tenant defaults, while app permission policies control which third-party and Microsoft-published apps users can install. Group governance settings such as expiration and naming policies are configured in Microsoft Entra ID.
