Hello,,

 

Do you still need a global account for Teams backups? And every time a new Team group is created, the global account is added to the group. Is this still necessary? If not, how do I disable it?

 

Currently we are on CV 11.36.60

 

Thank you

Hello Egor , 

 

We need Global Administrator account only if you want to use the “The express” configuration.  If you don't want to use the Microsoft 365 global administrator account, or if you can't disable multi-factor authentication for the global administrator account for security reasons, use the custom configuration option. The custom configuration is a manual process. Use this option if different people perform the roles of backup administrator, Microsoft 365 administrator, and Azure administrator.
