ODM | How to identify if a Microsoft 365 Group is "Team-ified" (4382748)

When planning a migration in ODM, administrators may be unsure whether an M365 Group requires a Teams migration task or a standard M365 Group migration task. Sometimes the SharePoint Admin page shows the site as not connected to Teams.

In Microsoft 365, every Team is an M365 Group, but not every M365 Group is a Team.

• Standard M365 Groups (created via Outlook or SharePoint) provide a mailbox and a site but do not include Teams channels/chat unless explicitly enabled.

• "Team-ified" Groups have had the Teams service provisioned, creating a specific metadata attribute in the backend (resourceProvisioningOptions).

Method 1: Visual Verification (SharePoint UI)

1. Navigate to the SharePoint Team Site associated with the group.
2. Check the header area next to the Site Name.
3. If a Team exists: You will see a small Microsoft Teams icon.
4. If no Team exists: No icon will be present.

Method 2: Technical Verification (Microsoft Graph API)

For a definitive check (especially if the UI sync is delayed), use the Microsoft Graph Explorer.

1. Run the following GET request: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/<group-id>?$select=displayName,resourceProvisioningOptions
2. Inspect the resourceProvisioningOptions property in the JSON response:
   - M365 Group (No Team): The resourceProvisioningOptions property will be empty or null. (Left)
   - M365 Group with a Team: The resourceProvisioningOptions property will contain the value "Team". (Right)
