Microsoft introduced a while ago Private channels in the #MicrosoftTeams but since day one private channels are a huge challenge for various architects and engineers who are in charge of the #MicrosoftTeams management.

The questions that are usually asked are:
❓what private channels we have
❓in what Teams do we have private channels
❓how many of private channels do we have
❓who are the owners of the private channels.
❓are the owners of the private channels active in the tenant
❓and the one that’s specifically challenging is to validate private channels by the private channel owner (not the Team owner – inception once again Microsoft 😵), because mostly I saw that private channels owners are not the Team owners

A lot of our customers are using our governance platform for discovering Private Channels, in what Teams are exactly those private channels, who are the members/owners, are the owners active etc.

So from today not only that you can do the access review of the:
✅SharePoint site
✅M365 Group
✅Teams
✅OneDrive
But also🎈Private Channels🎈are supported for the access review!

This means you can configure it to automatically send out access reviews to validate members:
✅owners of the Team where the private channel is (allowing Team owner to know there is a private channel inside the team).
✅only the owner of the private channel (keeping the team owners free from performing an access review on something they don’t know is there)

What’s next? You probably guess it is Shared Channels. #GetSome!!!!
