MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You need to ensure that only users in the marketing department can create teams in Microsoft Teams. All other users should be able to use Teams but not create new teams. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that Teams admin center has a direct team creation policy, when actually it is controlled via Microsoft Entra ID group settings.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
In Microsoft Entra ID, configure group settings to allow only a specific security group to create Microsoft 365 groups, and add marketing users to that group.
Team creation is governed by Microsoft 365 group creation settings in Microsoft Entra ID. By allowing only a designated security group to create groups, you restrict team creation to those members. The other options either target unrelated policies or reference non-existent features.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
In the Teams admin center, create a team creation policy and assign it to the marketing department.
Why it's wrong here
There is no team creation policy in the Teams admin center. Team creation permissions are controlled through Microsoft Entra ID group settings or the Microsoft 365 admin center. This option references a non-existent feature, so it cannot be used.
- ✗
Modify the global Teams meeting policy to restrict team creation.
Why it's wrong here
Teams meeting policies control meeting features, not team creation. Restricting team creation is managed through group creation settings in Microsoft Entra ID or the Teams admin center, not through meeting policies. This option would not prevent users from creating teams.
- ✗
Create an app permission policy that blocks the Teams app for non-marketing users.
Why it's wrong here
App permission policies control which apps are available within Teams, not the ability to create teams. Blocking the Teams app would prevent all usage, not just team creation. This does not meet the requirement of allowing Teams use but restricting team creation.
- ✓
In Microsoft Entra ID, configure group settings to allow only a specific security group to create Microsoft 365 groups, and add marketing users to that group.
Why this is correct
Team creation is tied to Microsoft 365 group creation. By restricting group creation to a specific security group, you control who can create teams. Adding marketing users to that group allows them to create teams while others cannot. This is the correct method.
