Microsoft is rolling out the new Teams v2 client. This is now a Single Page Application (SPA), which means generated deep links no longer work. Unfortunately, this also affects the GT365 solution 09 and 11, e.g. to open the settings of a team and the management of members with a button. Here you can find out why this is the case and what workarounds are possible.
This means that a direct link like https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/#/teamDashboard/[team-name]/[team-.id]/td.members now always leads to https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/ and the user ends up in the chat area. This is undesirable, but unfortunately cannot be changed because Microsoft no longer supports direct links in the Teams v2 client due to the new SPA architecture. For Governance Toolkit 365 customers, see also the news entry in the GT365 admin portal.
Currently, there are the following workarounds:
- Remove the Check button in the solutions email generation and replace this with an information text if needed.
Users must navigate to the team settings themselves.
- Replace the teams link with a link to the Outlook group, like
https://outlook.office.com/groups/[tenant]/[team-name]/members.
- Replace the teams links with a link to the Azure portal and the groups, like
https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/GroupDetailsMenuBlade/~/Overview/groupId/[group-id]/menuId/.
Note: Methods 2. and 3. must be enabled by the Admin so that users can use Outlook groups management or the Azure portal (set Restrict access to Microsoft Entra admin center to No, as here).
This affects all applications that used direct links. In GT365, the workarounds in the solutions can be used.
