What kind of services will be auto-provisioned when an admin creates a team?

Question

Hello,

I would like to know what kind of services (e.g. SharePoint site, OneNote notebook, Planner, etc.) will be auto-provisioned when an admin creates a team (or a group) on Microsoft 365 admin center and Microsoft Team. I found some materials regarding this topic, but it seems a bit outdated: Groups in Microsoft 365 for IT architect under Microsoft 365 productivity illustrations | Microsoft Learn.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could direct me to the latest information or materials. Thank you !

Sincerely,

Daun

Hi Daun Kim,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

When an admin creates a team or a group on Microsoft 365 admin center and Microsoft Teams, the following services are auto-provisioned:

• A SharePoint team site
• A shared Exchange mailbox
• A Planner
• A OneNote notebook

These services are created at the same time as the group, and are managed by the group membership. Additionally, each channel in the team has a separate folder in the document library.
