\n\n\n\n

Dynamic membership for teams has been around for a while now, and it is a good solution to keep the list of the members of a team updated automatically, based on the query you defined for the group membership in Azure AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the big downsides is that, following Microsoft documentation https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoftteams\/dynamic-memberships#:~:text=Dynamic%20membership%20enables%20the%20membership,join%20and%20leave%20the%20tenant.<\/a>, you have to create the team with a dynamic membership from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, is there a way to convert an existing team membership to dynamic (or to move from dynamic to assigned)?<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s say, for example, that I have a team called “Contoso marketing” whose membership is an assigned one. I can manage the team and add or remove users from the Teams client<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the team membership is based on a dynamic group, those actions are not available<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, interestingly, if I modify the properties of the Azure AD group connected to the team, I can change the behavior of the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let’s open the Group Properties in Azure AD<\/mark> (see screenshot below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s change the membership type to Dynamic User <\/mark>(and we have to add a query)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, if we go back to the Teams client (and refresh) we will see that the membership has been updated and the behavior is the one of a team created using a dynamic user membership group<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The change can be reversed by changing the membership type to assigned again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some things that you have to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) When you change the group type from assigned to dynamic the previous list of members is lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) When you change from dynamic to assigned the list of the group members is kept<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
