Teams Member Being Removed Everyday Automatically

If you are experiencing the issue of team members being automatically removed from your Teams account on a daily basis, this article will guide you through some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the problem.

Check for Active Directory Sync Issues

The first thing you should do is check if there are any Active Directory (AD) sync issues. Teams relies on AD to manage user accounts and permissions. If there is a problem with the sync, it can cause team members to be removed.

To check for AD sync issues, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Teams admin center.
2. Go to the "Users" tab.
3. Check if any users have a status of "Syncing" or "Syncing has failed".
4. If you find any users with sync issues, try to manually sync their accounts by selecting the user and clicking on the "Resync" button.

Review User Permissions

Another reason why team members may be getting removed automatically is due to incorrect permissions. Make sure that the affected users have the necessary permissions to access and be part of the teams they are being removed from.

To review user permissions, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Teams admin center.
2. Go to the "Teams" tab.
3. Select the team where members are being removed.
4. Click on the "Manage team" button.
5. Go to the "Settings" tab.
6. Under the "Permissions" section, ensure that the affected users have appropriate permissions, such as "Member" or "Owner".

Check for External Access Settings

If your team has external access enabled, it is possible that team members are being removed because of a setting related to external access. External access allows users from outside your organization to participate in your teams.

To check the external access settings, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Teams admin center.
2. Go to the "Teams" tab.
3. Select the team where members are being removed.
4. Click on the "Manage team" button.
5. Go to the "Settings" tab.
6. Under the "External access" section, review the settings and make sure they are configured correctly.
