Azure AD administrator accounts

It is strongly recommended to create dedicated accounts as the source and target Azure AD administrator accounts. These accounts should not be an owner or member of any team. For security reasons it is recommended to remove these accounts once the migration is complete.

The target Azure AD administrator account use is in and not limited to the following scenarios:

  • The target Azure AD administrator account that is used to perform Teams provisioning creates and owns these provisioned target teams.
  • The target Azure AD administrator account is added to all target teams and Microsoft 365 Groups as a member and an owner, and to all target private channels as an owner.
  • The target Azure AD administrator account is used to perform the Teams migration and displayed as the owner of all migrated conversation and chat messages and planner tasks on the target.
  • The target Azure AD administrator account is added to all the chats (both group chats and private chats) as a participant during chats migration, and then removed from the migrated chats as soon as the chat migration is complete. All migrated chats of the target Azure AD administrator account are hidden when the chat migration is complete.

Discovering Teams

In this topic:

Prepare a CSV file for discovering Teams

This step is required if you plan to discover teams using a CSV file. When you have a large set of teams but you want to migrate a subset of those teams, the CSV file lets you specify the teams that you want to discover and ignore the rest. You can then use this file in the New Teams Discovery Task as described in this topic to discover the teams from the source tenant.

To prepare the CSV file:

  1. Log in to the Microsoft 365 admin center (https://admin.microsoft.com) with the credentials of your source tenant administrator.
  2. From the navigation pane, click Active groups.
  3. Select Microsoft 365 tab in the Active Groups page
  4. Set the list filter to Groups with Teams.
  5. Click Export and then click Export groups in this list. A Groups.csv file will be downloaded to your computer.

  6. Edit the CSV file and retain the Group ID and Group name columns. Then retain the teams you want to discover and delete the rest. If you retain a row that references a group without a team, the group will be ignored during discovery.

  7. Save the CSV file. You may rename the file if needed.

Create and run a New Teams Discovery Task
