Groups Governance Toolkit Part 2-Provisioning requirements Friday, January 11, 2019 5:00 PM Martina Grom In part 1 of this series we described the scenario for our Office 365 groups governance toolkit. In this part we will setup a workflow for the Office 365 and Microsoft Teams provisioning. Workflows help to follow specific processes for a successful collaboration. Offering self-services for users is a key to reduce workloads on the IT department and to allow users to cover their requirements quickly while the organization's policies are enforced during the process. A frequently asked request is how to provision a new Microsoft Team in Office 365 in a secure and monitored way. See how this can be implemented here. To allow an app to create a Microsoft group or team programmatically in a workflow, we will use the Microsoft Graph API, Azure Functions and Flow or Logic Apps. With these technologies, we can create powerful workflows to offer a self-service for users to create a team when needed, approved by the manager and being provisioned with all the necessary properties and permissions. atwork | Azure | Cloud | Developer | English | Flow | GitHub | Governance | Graph | Logic apps | Microsoft | Microsoft Teams | Microsoft365 | MVP | Office365 | PowerShell | SharePoint | Tools | Yammer Mediumlink | Permalink | Comments (1) | Post RSS mehr
