Compliance-driven management of MS Teams
my-IAM TeamSpace combines ease of use with governance.
Standards are maintained and security is ensured for agile Teams management.
Free use of Teams – or everything via IT?
Are you considering whether to allow your users to manage teams themselves?
Or do you tend to control everything via IT? Are opinions divided in your company?
With my-IAM TeamSpace, we offer you a “happy medium” that satisfies both sides.
Teams is meant to be an open collaboration tool for all employees, according to the philosophy.
However, in practice, there are concerns about the maintenance effort and safety.
With Microsoft, there are two ways to create teams: either IT is solely responsible,
or users are free to manage Teams themselves. In between is a gray area.
Compliance-driven Teams management
With my-IAM TeamSpace you create a highly compliant way of working with Microsoft Teams.
Both IT admins and users manage Teams via my-IAM TeamSpace.
M365 admins define security settings for Teams, which they categorize and map into templates. Responsibilities, permissions, data security, and granular customizations are defined in advance.
The big advantage: Employees then take over the regulated and controlled management of Teams.
How does my-IAM TeamSpace work?
TeamSpace ensures the compliance-driven management of Teams. But what does that actually mean?
With the help of TeamSpace, you define exactly what each individual employee in your company is
is allowed to do with Microsoft Teams. What otherwise can only be controlled via a multitude of admin tools,
is bundled in TeamSpace in one application.
It enables end users to use Teams the way its philosophy intends – as a productivity tool.
This is done within a regulated framework that is defined and controlled by IT.
my-IAM TeamSpace provides additional control mechanisms:
- Security controller
- Naming conventions
- Visibility regulator
- Approval workflows
- Guest access
- Customizable life cycle
Key features – my-IAM TeamSpace
Security controller
My-IAM TeamSpace takes care of security settings with automated processes that run in the background.
With the help of a security controller, which can contain several layers, different security levels are defined granularly. These take over authorization management and guarantee the implementation of compliance rules regarding the use of Teams.
For the IT department, this means less effort and a simplified administration. For your company, TeamSpace offers more compliance and security.

Compliance-driven Teams templates
With my-IAM TeamSpace you use Teams templates. Teams templates are predefined templates. IT admins customize the templates for users of MS Teams according to corporate policies.
Templates provide compliance with:
- Purpose of the team
- General structure, tabs
- Naming conventions
- Access rights
Users have a simplified and limited field of action. This allows them to create teams faster and avoid mistakes – and have no more waiting time.

Approval workflows
As an additional security level, my-IAM allows the integration of approval workflows. Approvals can be defined for various tasks, for example for the:
- assignment of members
- creation of a new team
- deletion of members
These actions are executed only if the decision maker (approver) agrees.

Attribute-based dynamic memberships in Teams
DynamicSync takes care of the dynamic attribute-based assignment of groups. The members of a team are automatically updated based on attributes. Team owners can still add new members manually.
Find the right contact person
The potential of Microsoft Teams is obvious, especially as a universal collaboration platform.
PeopleConnect, another service from my-IAM, facilitates the connection between colleagues. For example, in addition to standard data such as names or departments, the service also searches for skills or other personal information. Employees immediately find the person and the information they need.
Thanks to useful search functions and an easy-to-use interface, PeopleConnect is a helpful extension in Microsoft Teams.
