Microsoft 365 Free Reporting Tool — Team Owners Report

In Microsoft Teams governance, one role matters more than any other — the Team Owner. Owners control membership, settings, and the lifecycle of each Team. Without clear visibility into who owns what, accountability quickly becomes unclear.

Unfortunately, identifying Team Owners across your tenant is not as simple as it should be.

The Microsoft Team Owners Report, available in the M365 Free Reporting Tool, gives administrators instant visibility into Team ownership — without manual digging or PowerShell scripting.

Who Are Microsoft Team Owners?

Microsoft Team Owners are users assigned administrative control over a Team.

Team Owners can:

• Add or remove members
• Promote or demote other owners
• Modify Team settings
• Archive or delete the Team

Each Team should ideally have at least two owners to prevent orphaned Teams and governance gaps. Monitoring Team ownership is therefore critical.

How to Generate Microsoft Team Owners Report?

Let’s look at the available options and their limitations.

1. Using Microsoft 365 Admin Center
   The Microsoft 365 Admin Center does not provide a consolidated Team Owners report.

❌ Limitations

• Owners must be checked Team by Team
• No exclusive listing of Team Owners
• No centralized export view


This approach becomes impractical in large tenants.

2. Using Microsoft Teams Admin Center
   The Microsoft Teams Admin Center allows you to view Team membership, including owners.

❌ Limitations

• Owners must be reviewed manually for each Team
• No consolidated Owners-only report
• No easy export option
• Time-consuming in environments with hundreds of Teams


Again, this requires manual digging into every Team.

3. Using Graph PowerShell
   Graph PowerShell allows admins to programmatically retrieve Team Owners across the tenant.

Sample Graph PowerShell Script

                                                
# Connect to Microsoft Graph
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "Group.Read.All", "User.Read.All"

# Get all Teams-enabled groups
$teams = Get-MgGroup -All -Filter "resourceProvisioningOptions/Any(x:x eq 'Team')" `
-Property Id, DisplayName

$report = foreach ($team in $teams) {
    $owners = Get-MgGroupOwner -GroupId $team.Id -All
    foreach ($owner in $owners) {
        [PSCustomObject]@{
            TeamName  = $team.DisplayName
            OwnerName = $owner.DisplayName
            OwnerUPN  = $owner.UserPrincipalName
        }
    }
}

$report | Export-Csv "C:\TeamsOwnersReport.csv" -NoTypeInformation

                                                
                                            

What this script does

• Fetches all Teams-enabled groups
• Retrieves the owners for each Team
• Creates a structured report
• Exports results to CSV

Downsides of PowerShell

• Requires Graph and PowerShell expertise
• Multiple API calls per Team
• Manual CSV formatting and maintenance
• Not ideal for quick governance checks

While powerful, this method isn’t admin-friendly for everyday visibility.
