Identifying Licensing Requirements for Advanced Lifecycle Management of Teams

Microsoft Teams lifecycle management involves administrators managing the full lifecycle of a team, from creation to deletion, aided by features such as Microsoft 365 groups’ expiration policies. For utilizing these expiration features, an Entra ID Premium P1 license is the minimum requirement. This license supports the essential lifecycle management functionalities in Teams, enabling administrators to set policies that automatically expire inactive groups, thus helping to keep the team’s environment clean and organized.
