This means that admins will be able to create new groups or use existing ones to assign custom policies for various policy types in Teams admin center.
How to manage the Teams group policy assignment
The first thing you need to know is that these updates are coming at separate times.
The group policy assignment feature lets you assign custom policies to groups that were created in the Microsoft 365 Admin center. The Teams admin center supports Microsoft 365 groups, distribution lists, mail-enabled security groups, and security groups for groups policy assignment.
You can use the group policy assignment feature for the following policy types in the Microsoft Teams admin center:
Also, it’s good to know that the maximum number of groups per policy will also be lifted, and it will no longer be capped at 64.
However, you also have to keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the group policy assignment in the core policies: meeting policies, calling policies, and messaging policies.
With that being said, your organization will be now able to have different custom policies for various policy types in Teams groups.
