Packaging Some of the Many Policies Beloved by Teams

Group policy assignment functionality is available in the Microsoft Teams admin center and the Teams PowerShell module . Group policy assignment is a solution for a problem faced by many organizations, particularly large enterprises, who find it difficult to achieve consistent assignment of Teams policies to user accounts.

Read More: Seven Years Too Late, Microsoft Realizes the Reality of Group Sprawl.

The Many Policies of Teams

Teams loves policies. The Teams PowerShell module included 47 cmdlets with names matching a pattern of Get-Cs*Policy . Although many of these policies are a little obscure and might never be accessed or changed in a tenant, they do exist. When an administrator edits a user account through the Teams admin center, they can tweak sixteen different policies to affect how the user interacts with Teams (Figure 1).

Editing the many policies assigned to a Teams user

Many of the policies used to manage Teams today originate in the calling and meeting heritage of Lync and Skype for Business Online, which use a similar policy-based management framework. There’s a lot to like about policy-based management. Applying a policy to an account to control functionality is more consistent than tweaking individual account settings. Changes are easily made by updating a policy instead of updating multiple accounts, and so on. But when so many policies exist, it can be hard to understand which policy controls what setting.

Policy Assignment to Many Users

Group-based policy assignment means that a set of users receive a package of Teams policies. The scope for the set of users comes from a distribution group, security group, or Microsoft 365 group. The package is composed of several Teams policies. Assigning the policy package to the group means that Teams assigns the policies in the package to the members of the group. Assignments only occur for accounts which are direct members of the group. Accounts in nested groups don’t receive assignments.

As the group changes, Teams assigns the package to new members and removes the package from those who leave (as we’ll see later, this didn’t happen in my tests). It’s a helpful solution to the problem in situations where you want to be sure that specific users see certain apps or are allowed to switch into the Teams public preview mode to see new features.

Bulk policy assignment is another solution. In this case, the administrator identifies a set of users (perhaps in a CSV file) and a background job assigns a policy to the target accounts. It’s the equivalent of a manual assignment of a single policy to an account repeated for each user.

Users don’t need any additional licenses to receive assignments through the set of predefined policy packages included in Teams. However, as announced in MC244607 on March 16, once you create custom policy packages, users who receive those packages need Teams advanced communications licenses ( Microsoft 365 roadmap item 70776 ). Quite why Microsoft demands this expensive license for what many would consider to be a fundamental management capability is not clear.

Administrators can’t amend the predefined policy packages to add or remove policies. However, they can edit the details of the individual policies in the packages. For instance, the Frontline Manager policy package includes meeting, messaging, live events, app setup, and calling policies. You could edit the package to amend the details of the include policies (but not the policies themselves) to customize them to meet organizational requirements. Whether this creates an additional licensing burden is another matter.

Let’s leave the topic of licensing aside and examine how to create a custom policy package.

Creating a Custom Policy Package

Creating a new policy package is straightforward (here’s Microsoft’s documentation ). As shown in Figure 2, it’s a matter of choosing the policies you want to assign to users. In this case, I’ve opted for four of the ten policy types supported for this form of assignment. The other policy types are Calling, Caller ID, Call Park, Live Events, Voice Routing, and Update.

The next step is to assign the new custom policy package to one or more target groups. I used distribution lists for this purpose, but you can also use a Microsoft 365 group or security group. Note that policy assignments only work for direct members of the distribution list; members of nested distribution lists don’t receive assignments.

A policy package can be assigned to multiple groups, but a group can only be assigned one policy package. However, you can’t assign a policy package to multiple groups at one time. Instead, each assignment must be processed individually by selecting the target group. This action allows Teams to calculate the priority (or ranking) order for the assignment (Figure 2) based on what’s already in place.

Deploying Custom Teams Group Policy Assignments

The priority order is important because it’s used by Teams to know which policy to apply when several policy assignments exist for an account. The existence of the priority order allows assignment of several policy packages to an account with a known outcome. The rules of precedence are:

Manual assignments always win. In other words, if an administrator assigns a policy to an account, that assignment takes precedence over any group assignment.
If a manual assignment doesn’t exist, the group assignment with the highest priority takes precedence.
If no manual or group assignments exist, Teams applies the default (global) policy.

Teams adjusts the priority given to assignments as people join or leave groups or when packages are assigned to or removed from groups. This is done automatically by the background process responsible for tracking policy assignments due to group membership.

After a policy package is assigned to a group, a background process applies the policies covered by the package to the accounts in the target group. Team policy assignments are notoriously slow to become effective. There’s no indication in the Teams admin center about the progress of the background job, so the only way to track assignments is to examine user accounts through the admin center (Figure 3) or PowerShell.

User details showing the assignment of a Teams policy package via a group

Clicking details for a policy shows how Teams applies the policy based on the rules of precedence (Figure 4). In this case, the user has a direct assignment and inherits an assignment from a group. The direct assignment has precedence.

Precedence order for the Teams meeting policy applied to a user account

Individual Package Assignment

If a user account doesn’t come within the scope of a group policy assignment, you can edit their account to assign a policy package manually. Each of the policies included in the package is assigned to the account as if an administrator had assigned the policies directly.

The Odd State of Updates

Over time, the policies assigned to accounts also change. Microsoft’s documentation says, “ As members are added to or removed from a group, their inherited policy assignments are updated accordingly .” My understanding of this text is that Teams updates group policy assignments to reflect changes to the underlying groups, a belief emphasized when Microsoft goes on to explain that the background process which handles updates “ might take some time ” to do the job. The memo might not have reached the background process because my observations based on multiple tests show that:

Accounts receive group policy assignments when a policy package is first associated with a group.
Accounts added to the distribution list do not receive the group assignment.
Accounts removed from the distribution list did not have the policy assignment removed.
Target groups removed from a policy package leave the policy assignments in place for the members of the removed group.

Either the documentation is incorrect, or the functionality doesn’t work as expected. At least, not in the week or so of my testing. It’s an odd situation for a premium feature to be in. I contacted Microsoft and discovered that a problem exists in processing changes made to distribution list membership. Everything works as expected for Microsoft 365 groups and security groups. I just happened to choose the group type which didn’t work so well. Microsoft expects to fix the problem soon.

For now, if you remove non-direct policy assignments made through groups, be prepared to do some manual cleanup to make sure that accounts have correct policy assignments.

Check Assignments with PowerShell

You can check the policy assignments to user accounts with PowerShell by running the Get-CsUserPolicyAssignment cmdlet. This cmdlet exposes some other detail of the policies applying to an account. For example:

The three direct assignments shown at the top of the listing are automatic. For example, the location profile (IE = Ireland) comes from the user account location, which then determines things like the available dial plans. The meeting policy shows as BposSAllModality , a throwback to the past (BPOS = Business Online Productivity Services, the predecessor to Office 365). This was the name of the default Skype for Business Online meeting policy that’s found its way into Teams.

We can also see five group policy assignments. These are the four assignments (messaging, meeting, teams, and app setup) assignments from the package plus the package itself ( TeamsVerticalPackagePolicy ). The reference is the GUID for the group to which the package is assigned. We can check the group by feeding the GUID to the Get-Group or Get-AzureADGroup cmdlets. Here’s an example:

Many Ways to Assign Teams Policies

Between the Teams admin center, PowerShell, and bulk policy assignments, many ways exist to assign Teams policies to user accounts. Group policy assignment is a good approach to applying multiple policies to many accounts at the same time.

However, charging extra to use custom policy packages is an odd decision for Microsoft to make, especially as easy workarounds exist in both the admin center and PowerShell. It’s also regressive in that it’s surely better for Microsoft to help customers manage Teams policy assignments effectively. After all, Microsoft has created an array of policies which administrators need to master to work with Teams. Why should customers pay Microsoft for software to make that task easier?

Assign policies to your users in Microsoft Teams

As an admin, you use policies to control the Teams features that are available to users in your organization. For example, there are calling policies, meeting policies, and messaging policies, to name just a few.

Organizations have different types of users with unique needs and custom policies that you create and assign let you tailor policy settings to different sets of users based on those needs.

To make it easier to manage policies in your organization, Teams offers several ways to assign policies to users. You can assign a policy directly to users, either individually or at scale through a batch assignment, or to a group that the users are members of. You can also use policy packages to assign a preset collection of policies to users in your organization who have similar roles. The option that you choose depends on the number of policies that you're managing and the number of users that you're assigning to. By setting the global (Org-wide default) policies so that they apply to the largest number of users in your organization, you only have to assign policies to those users that require specialized policies.

This article describes the different ways that you can assign policies to users and the recommended scenarios for when to use what.

Which policy takes precedence?

A user has one effective policy for each policy type. It's possible or even likely that a user is directly assigned a policy and is also a member of one or more groups that's assigned a policy of the same type. In these kinds of scenarios, which policy takes precedence? A user's effective policy is determined according to rules of precedence, as follows.

If a user is directly assigned a policy (either individually or through a batch assignment), that policy takes precedence. In the following example, the user's effective policy is the Lincoln Square meeting policy, which is directly assigned to the user.

Diagram showing how a directly assigned policy takes precedence

If a user isn't directly assigned a policy of a given type, the policy assigned to a group that the user is a member of takes precedence. If a user is a member of multiple groups, the policy that has the highest group assignment ranking for the given policy type takes precedence.

In this example, the user's effective policy is the Exec Teams and HD policy, which has the highest assignment ranking relative to other groups that the user is a member of and that are also assigned a policy of the same policy type.

Diagram showing how a policy inherited from group takes precedence

If a user isn't directly assigned a policy or isn't a member of any groups that are assigned a policy, the user gets the global (Org-wide default) policy for that policy type. Here's an example.

Ways to assign policies

Here's an overview of the ways that you can assign policies to users and the recommended scenarios for each. Click the links to learn more.

Before assigning policies to individual users or groups, start by setting the global (Org-wide default) policies so that they apply to the largest number of users in your organization. Once the global policies are set, you will only need to assign policies to those users that require specialized policies.

WAYS TO ASSIGN POLICIES

PowerShell cmdlets in the Teams PowerShell module
Assign a policy package to a group (coming soon)

Set the global policies

Follow these steps to set the global (Org-wide default) policies for each policy type.

Using the Microsoft Teams admin center

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to the policy page for the policy type you want to update. For example, Teams > Teams policies , Meetings > Meetings policies , Messaging policies , or Voice > Calling policies .
Select the Global (Org-wide default) policy to view the current settings.
Update the policy as needed, and then select Apply .

Using PowerShell

To set the global policies using PowerShell, use the Global identifier. Start by reviewing the current Global policy to determine which setting you want to change.

Next, update the Global policy as needed. You only need to specify values for the settings that you want to change.

Assign a policy to individual users

Follow these steps to assign a policy to an individual user or to a small number of users at a time.

To assign a policy to a user:

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Users , and then click the user.
Select the user by clicking to the left of the user name, and then click Edit settings .
Select the policy you want to assign, and then click Apply .

Or, you can also do the following:

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to the policy page.
Select the policy you want to assign by clicking to the left of the policy name.
Select Manage users .
In the Manage users pane, search for the user by display name or by user name, select the name, and then select Add . Repeat this step for each user that you want to add.
When you're finished adding users, select Apply .

Each policy type has its own set of cmdlets for managing it. Use the Grant- cmdlet for a given policy type to assign the policy. For example, use the Grant-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy cmdlet to assign a Teams meeting policy to users. These cmdlets are included in the Skype for Business Online PowerShell module and are documented in the Skype for Business cmdlet reference .

Download and install the Skype for Business Online PowerShell module (if you haven't already), and then run the following to connect to Skype for Business Online and start a session.

Skype for Business Online Connector is currently part of the latest Teams PowerShell module.

If you're using the latest Teams PowerShell public release , you don't need to install the Skype for Business Online Connector.

In this example, we assign a Teams meeting policy named Student Meeting Policy to a user named Reda.

To learn more, read Managing policies via PowerShell .

Assign a policy package

A policy package in Teams is a collection of predefined policies and policy settings that you can assign to users who have the same or similar roles in your organization. Each policy package is designed around a user role and includes predefined policies and policy settings that support activities typical for that role. Some examples of policy packages are the Education (Teacher) package and Healthcare (Clinical worker) package.

When you assign a policy package to users, the policies in the package are created and you can then customize the settings of each policy in the package to meet users' needs.

To learn more about policy packages, including step-by-step guidance on how to assign and manage them, see Manage policy packages in Teams .

Assign a policy to a batch of users

To assign a policy to users in bulk:

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, select Users .
Search for the users you want to assign the policy to or filter the view to show the users you want.
In the ✓ (check mark) column, select the users. To select all users, click the ✓ (check mark) at the top of the table.
Click Edit settings , make the changes that you want, and then click Apply .

To view the status of your policy assignment, in the banner that appears at the top of the Users page after you click Apply to submit your policy assignment, click Activity log . Or, in the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Dashboard , and then under Activity log , click View details . The Activity log shows policy assignments to batches of more than 20 users through the Microsoft Teams admin center from the last 30 days. To learn more, see View your policy assignments in the Activity log .

Currently, batch policy assignment using PowerShell isn't available for all Teams policy types. See New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation for the list of supported policy types.

With batch policy assignment, you can assign a policy to large sets of users at a time without having to use a script. You use the New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to submit a batch of users and the policy that you want to assign. The assignments are processed as a background operation and an operation ID is generated for each batch. You can then use the Get-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to track the progress and status of the assignments in a batch.

You can specify users by their object Id or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address. Note that a user's SIP address often has the same value as the User Principal Name (UPN) or email address, but this is not required. If a user is specified using their UPN or email, but it has a different value than their SIP address, then policy assignment will fail for the user. If a batch includes duplicate users, the duplicates will be removed from the batch before processing and status will only be provided for the unique users remaining in the batch.

A batch can contain up to 5,000 users. For best results, do not submit more than a few batches at a time. Allow batches to complete processing before submitting more batches.

Install and connect to the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module

Run the following to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module . Make sure you install version 1.0.5 or later.

Run the following to connect to Teams and start a session.

When you're prompted, sign in using your admin credentials.

Install and connect to the Azure AD PowerShell for Graph module (optional)

You may also want to download and install the Azure AD PowerShell for Graph module (if you haven't already) and connect to Azure AD so that you can retrieve a list of users in your organization.

Run the following to connect to Azure AD.

When you're prompted, sign in using the same admin credentials that you used to connect to Teams.

In this example, we use the New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to assign an app setup policy named HR App Setup Policy to a batch of users listed in the Users_ids.text file.

In this example, we connect to Azure AD to retrieve a collection of users and then assign a messaging policy named New Hire Messaging Policy to a batch of users specified by using their SIP address.

To learn more, see New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation .

Get the status of a batch assignment

Run the following to get the status of a batch assignment, where OperationId is the operation ID that's returned by the New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet for a given batch.

If the output shows that an error occurred, run the following to get more information about errors, which are in the UserState property.

To learn more, see Get-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation .

Assign a policy to a group

Policy assignment to groups lets you assign a policy to a group of users, such as a security group or distribution list. The policy assignment is propagated to members of the group according to precedence rules. As members are added to or removed from a group, their inherited policy assignments are updated accordingly.

Policy assignment to groups is recommended for groups of up to 50,000 users but it will also work with larger groups.

When you assign the policy, it's immediately assigned to the group. However, note that the propagation of the policy assignment to members of the group is performed as a background operation and may take some time, depending on the size of the group. The same is true when a policy is unassigned from a group, or when members are added to or removed from a group.

What you need to know about policy assignment to groups

Before you get started, it's important to understand precedence rules and group assignment ranking.

Precedence rules

For a given policy type, a user's effective policy is determined according to the following:

A policy that's directly assigned to a user takes precedence over any other policy of the same type that's assigned to a group. In other words, if a user is directly assigned a policy of a given type, that user won't inherit a policy of the same type from a group. This also means that if a user has a policy of a given type that was directly assigned to them, you have to remove that policy from the user before they can inherit a policy of the same type from a group.
If a user doesn't have a policy directly assigned to them and is a member of two or more groups and each group has a policy of the same type assigned to it, the user inherits the policy of the group assignment that has the highest ranking.
If a user isn't a member of any groups that are assigned a policy, the global (Org-wide default) policy for that policy type applies to the user.

A user's effective policy is updated according to these rules when a user is added to or removed from a group that's assigned a policy, a policy is unassigned from a group, or a policy that's directly assigned to the user is removed.

Group assignment ranking

When you assign a policy to a group, you specify a ranking for the group assignment. This is used to determine which policy a user should inherit as their effective policy if the user is a member of two or more groups and each group is assigned a policy of the same type.

The group assignment ranking is relative to other group assignments of the same type. For example, if you're assigning a calling policy to two groups, set the ranking of one assignment to 1 and the other to 2, with 1 being the highest ranking. The group assignment ranking indicates which group membership is more important or more relevant than other group memberships with regards to inheritance.

Say, for example, you have two groups, Store Employees and Store Managers. Both groups are assigned a Teams calling policy, Store Employees Calling Policy and Store Managers Calling Policy, respectively. For a store manager who is in both groups, their role as a manager is more relevant than their role as an employee, so the calling policy that's assigned to the Store Managers group should have a higher ranking.

GROUP ASSIGNMENT RANKING
Group	Teams calling policy name	Rank
Store Managers	Store Managers Calling Policy	1
Store Employees	Store Employees Calling Policy	2

If you don't specify a ranking, the policy assignment is given the lowest ranking.

Currently, policy assignment to groups using the Microsoft Teams admin center is only available for Teams calling policy, Teams call park policy, Teams policy, Teams live events policy, Teams meeting policy, and Teams messaging policy. For other policy types, use PowerShell.

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to the policy type page. For example, go to Meetings > Meeting policies .
Select the Group policy assignment tab.
Search for and add the group you want to assign the policy to.
Set the ranking for the group assignment.
Select the policy that you want to assign.
Select Apply .

To remove a group policy assignment, on the Group policy assignment tab of the policy page, select the group assignment, and then select Remove .

To change the ranking of a group assignment, you have to first remove the group policy assignment. Then, follow the steps above to assign the policy to a group.

Currently, policy assignment to groups using PowerShell isn't available for all Teams policy types. See New-CsGroupPolicyAssignment for the list of supported policy types.

For step-by-step guidance, see Install Teams PowerShell .

You use the New-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet to assign a policy to a group. You can specify a group by using the object Id, SIP address, or email address.

In this example, we use the New-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet to assign a Teams meeting policy named Retail Managers Meeting Policy to a group with an assignment ranking of 1.

To learn more, see New-CsGroupPolicyAssignment .

Get policy assignments for a group

Use the Get-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet to get all policies assigned to a group. Note that groups are always listed by their group Id even if its SIP address or email address was used to assign the policy.

In this example, we retrieve all policies assigned to a specific group.

In this example, we return all groups that are assigned a Teams meeting policy.

To learn more, see Get-CsGroupPolicyAssignment .

Remove a policy from a group

Use the Remove-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet to remove a policy from a group. When you remove a policy from a group, the priorities of other policies of the same type assigned to that group and that have a lower ranking are updated. For example, if you remove a policy that has a ranking of 2, policies that have a ranking of 3 and 4 are updated to reflect their new ranking. The following two tables show this example.

Here's a list of the policy assignments and priorities for a Teams meeting policy.

REMOVE A POLICY FROM A GROUP
Group name	Policy name	Rank
Sales	Sales policy	1
West Region	West Region policy	2
Division	Division policy	3
Subsidiary	Subsidiary policy	4

If we remove the West Region policy from the West Region group, the policy assignments and priorities are updated as follows.

REMOVE A POLICY FROM A GROUP
Group name	Policy name	Rank
Sales	Sales policy	1
Division	Division policy	2
Subsidiary	Subsidiary policy	3

In this example, we remove the Teams meeting policy from a group.

To learn more, see Remove-CsGroupPolicyAssignment .

Change a policy assignment for a group

The Set-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet will be available soon. In the meantime, to change a group policy assignment, you can remove the current policy assignment from the group, and then add a new policy assignment.

After you assign a policy to a group, you can use the Set-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet to change that group's policy assignment as follows:

Change the ranking
Change the policy of a given policy type
Change the policy of a given policy type and the ranking

In this example, we change a group's Teams call park policy to a policy named SupportCallPark and the assignment ranking to 3.

To learn more, see Set-CsGroupPolicyAssignment .

Change the effective policy for a user

Here's an example of how to change the effective policy for a user who is directly assigned a policy.

First, we use the Get-CsUserPolicyAssignment cmdlet together with the PolicySource parameter to get details of the Teams meeting broadcast policies associated with the user. To learn more, see Get-CsUserPolicyAssignment .

The output shows that the user was directly assigned a Teams meeting broadcast policy named Employee Events, which takes precedence over the policy named Vendor Live Events that's assigned to a group the user belongs to.

Now, we remove the Employee Events policy from the user. This means that the user no longer has a Teams meeting broadcast policy directly assigned to them and will inherit the Vendor Live Events policy that's assigned to the group the user belongs to.

Use the following cmdlet in the Skype for Business PowerShell module to do this.

You can use following cmdlet in the Teams PowerShell module to do this at scale though a batch policy assignment, where $users is a list of users that you specify.

Assign a policy package to a batch of users

With batch policy package assignment, you can assign a policy package to large sets of users at a time without having to use a script. You use the New-CsBatchPolicyPackageAssignmentOperation cmdlet to submit a batch of users and the policy package that you want to assign. The assignments are processed as a background operation and an operation ID is generated for each batch. You can then use the Get-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to track the progress and status of the assignments in a batch.

Run the following to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module (if you haven't already). Make sure you install version 1.0.5 or later.

In this example, we use the New-CsBatchPolicyPackageAssignmentOperation cmdlet to assign the Education_PrimaryStudent policy package to a batch of users.

To unassign a specialized policy from a user, you can set each policy to Global (Org-wide default) . You can also remove policy assignments in bulk for all users directly assigned to a policy. To learn more, read Unassign policies in bulk .

You can also do the following to assign a policy to a user:

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to the policy page.

Select the policy you want to assign by clicking to the left of the policy name.

Select Assign users .

In the Manage users pane, search for the user by display name or by user name, select the name, and then select Add . Repeat this step for each user that you want to add.

When you're finished adding users, select Apply .

Screenshot that shows how to assign a policy to a user in the Teams admin center via second method.

Use PowerShell

Each policy type has its own set of cmdlets for managing it. Use the Grant- cmdlet for a given policy type to assign the policy. For example, use the Grant-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy cmdlet to assign a Teams meeting policy to users. These cmdlets are included in the Teams PowerShell module and are documented in the Skype for Business cmdlet reference .

Download and install the Teams PowerShell public release (if you haven't already), and then run the following to connect.

In this example, we assign a Teams meeting policy named Student Meeting Policy to a user named Reda.

Assign a policy to a group

Policy assignment to groups lets you assign a policy to a group of users, such as a Microsoft 365 group, a security group, or a distribution list. The policy assignment is propagated to members of the group according to precedence rules. As members are added to or removed from a group, their inherited policy assignments are updated accordingly.

Policy assignment to groups is recommended for groups of up to 50,000 users but it will also work with larger groups.

When you assign the policy, it's immediately assigned to the group. However, the propagation of the policy assignment to members of the group is performed as a background operation and might take some time, depending on the size of the group. The same is true when a policy is unassigned from a group, or when members are added to or removed from a group.

Group policy assignments are only propagated to users who are direct members of the group. The assignments aren't propagated to members of nested groups.

The Teams Powershell module and Teams admin center don't support the following policies for group policy assignment.

Teams App Permission Policy
Teams Upgrade Policy

What you need to know about policy assignment to groups

Before you get started, it's important to understand precedence rules and group assignment ranking.

Precedence rules

For a given policy type, a user's effective policy is determined according to the following:

A policy that's directly assigned to a user takes precedence over any other policy of the same type that's assigned to a group. In other words, if a user is directly assigned a policy of a given type, that user won't inherit a policy of the same type from a group. This also means that if a user has a policy of a given type that was directly assigned to them, you have to remove that policy from the user before they can inherit a policy of the same type from a group.
If a user doesn't have a policy directly assigned to them and is a member of two or more groups and each group has a policy of the same type assigned to it, the user inherits the policy of the group assignment that has the highest ranking. Smaller the number, the higher the ranking with 1 being the highest ranking.
If a user isn't a member of any groups that are assigned a policy, the global (Org-wide default) policy for that policy type applies to the user.

A user's effective policy is updated according to these rules:

when a user is added to or removed from a group that's assigned a policy.
a policy is unassigned from a group.
a policy that's directly assigned to the user is removed.

Group assignment ranking

When you assign a policy to a group, you specify a ranking for the group assignment. This ranking is used to determine which policy a user should inherit as their effective policy if the user is a member of two or more groups and each group is assigned a policy of the same type.

Group	Teams calling policy name	Rank
Store Managers	Store Managers Calling Policy	1
Store Employees	Store Employees Calling Policy	2

If you don't specify a ranking, the policy assignment is given the lowest ranking.

In the Teams admin center

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to the policy type page. For example, go to Meetings > Meeting policies .
Select the Group policy assignment tab.

Search for and add the group you want to assign the policy to.

Set the ranking for the group assignment.

Select the policy that you want to assign.

Select Apply .

Screenshot that shows how to assign a policy to a group in the Teams admin center.

To remove a group policy assignment, on the Group policy assignment tab of the policy page, select the group assignment, and then select Remove .

To change the ranking of a group assignment, you need to remove the group policy assignment first. Then, follow the steps above to assign the policy to a group.

This video shows the steps to create and assign a custom meeting policy to a group.

Install and connect to the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module

For step-by-step guidance, see Install Teams PowerShell .

Assign a policy to a group of users

Use the appropriate Grant cmdlet to assign a policy to a group. You can specify a group by using the object ID, SIP address, or email address.

In this example, we assign a Teams meeting policy named Retail Managers Meeting Policy to a group with an assignment ranking of 1.

Get policy assignments for a group

Use the Get-CsGroupPolicyAssignment cmdlet to get all policies assigned to a group. Groups are always listed by their group ID even if its SIP address or email address was used to assign the policy.

In this example, we retrieve all policies assigned to a specific group.

In this example, we return all groups that are assigned a Teams meeting policy.

Remove a policy from a group

Use the appropriate Grant cmdlet to remove a policy from a group. When you remove a policy from a group, the priorities of other policies of the same type assigned to other groups, and that have a lower ranking, are updated. For example, if you remove a policy that has a ranking of 2, policies that have a ranking of 3 and 4 are updated to reflect their new ranking. The following two tables show this example.

Here's a list of the policy assignments and priorities for a Teams meeting policy.

Group name	Policy name	Rank
Sales	Sales policy	1
West Region	West Region policy	2
Division	Division policy	3
Subsidiary	Subsidiary policy	4

If we remove the West Region policy from the West Region group, the policy assignments and priorities are updated as follows.

Group name	Policy name	Rank
Sales	Sales policy	1
Division	Division policy	2
Subsidiary	Subsidiary policy	3

In this example, we remove the Teams meeting policy from a group.

Change a policy assignment for a group

To change a group policy assignment, you can remove the current policy assignment from the group, and then add a new policy assignment.

After you assign a policy to a group, you can use the appropriate Grant cmdlet to change that group's policy assignment as follows:

Change the ranking
Change the policy of a given policy type
Change the policy of a given policy type and the ranking

In this example, we change a group's Teams call park policy to a policy named SupportCallPark and the assignment ranking to 3.

Change the effective policy for a user

Here's an example of how to change the effective policy for a user who is directly assigned a policy.

First, we use the Get-CsUserPolicyAssignment cmdlet together with the PolicySource parameter to get details of the Teams meeting broadcast policies associated with the user.

The output shows that the user was directly assigned a Teams meeting broadcast policy named Employee Events , which takes precedence over the policy named Vendor Live Events that's assigned to a group the user belongs to.

Use the following cmdlet in the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module to do this.

Use following cmdlet in the Teams PowerShell module to do this at scale through a batch policy assignment, where $users is a list of users that you specify.

Assign a policy to a batch of users

Use the admin center.

To assign a policy to users in bulk:

In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, select Users .
Search for the users you want to assign the policy to or filter the view to show the users you want.
In the ✓ (check mark) column, select the users. To select all users, select the ✓ (check mark) at the top of the table.
Select Edit settings , make the changes that you want, and then select Apply .

To view the status of your policy assignment, in the banner that appears at the top of the Users page after you select Apply to submit your policy assignment, select Activity log . Or, in the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Dashboard , and then under Activity log , select View details . The Activity log shows policy assignments to batches of more than 20 users through the Microsoft Teams admin center from the last 30 days. To learn more, see View your policy assignments in the Activity log .

Use PowerShell method

Batch policy assignment using PowerShell isn't available for all Teams policy types. See New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation for the list of supported policy types.

With batch policy assignment, you can assign a policy to large sets of users at a time without using a script. You use the New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to submit a batch of users and the policy that you want to assign. The assignments are processed as a background operation and an operation ID is generated for each batch. You can then use the Get-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to track the progress and status of the assignments in a batch.

Specify users by their object ID or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address. A user's SIP address often has the same value as the User Principal Name (UPN) or email address, but this isn't required. If a user is specified using their UPN or email, but it has a different value than their SIP address, then policy assignment will fail for the user. If a batch includes duplicate users, the duplicates will be removed from the batch before processing, and status will only be provided for the unique users remaining in the batch.

A batch can contain up to 5,000 users. For best results, don't submit more than a few batches at a time. Allow batches to complete processing before submitting more batches.

Install and connect to the Teams PowerShell module

Run the following to install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module .

Run the following to connect to Teams and start a session.

When you're prompted, sign in using your admin credentials.

Install and connect to the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module (optional)

You might also want to download and install Microsoft Graph PowerShell module (if you haven't already) and connect to Microsoft Entra ID so that you can retrieve a list of users in your organization.

Run the following to connect to Microsoft Entra ID.

When you're prompted, sign in using the same admin credentials that you used to connect to Teams.

Assign a setup policy to a batch of users

In this example, we use the New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet to assign an app setup policy named HR App Setup Policy to a batch of users listed in the users_ids.text file.

In this example, we connect to Microsoft Entra ID to retrieve a collection of users and then assign a messaging policy named New Hire Messaging Policy to a batch of users specified by using their SIP address.

Get the status of a batch assignment

Run the following to get the status of a batch assignment, where OperationId is the operation ID that's returned by the New-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation cmdlet for a given batch.

If the output shows that an error occurred, run the following to get more information about errors, which are in the UserState property.

To learn more, see Get-CsBatchPolicyAssignmentOperation .

Remove a direct policy assignment

You can remove a direct policy assignment from a user. This can be done to allow a group policy assignment to take effect.

To remove a direct policy assignment

Go to Users > Manage users .

Select the user whose policy assignment you want to remove.
On the user page, select the Policies tab.
In the policies list, select the policy that you want to remove, and then select Remove .
Select Confirm .

Unassign policies in bulk

When you unassign policies in bulk, you're removing policy assignments that were assigned to individual users through direct assignment. This is useful in the following scenarios:

For Global (Org-wide default) or group policy assignments to take effect: Due to precedence rules , Global (Org-wide default) or group policy assignments won't take effect for uses who have a direct policy assignment. As an admin, you can unassign policies in bulk to remove direct assignments so Global (Org-wide default) or group policy assignments take effect.
Clean up policy assignments from the Teams Education wizard: The Teams Education policy wizard applies the global policy defaults for students and assigns a custom policy set for a group of staff using group policy assignment. Admins need to clean up student and staff individual policies for Global (Org-wide default) and group assignments to be effective.
Remove incorrect policy assignments: If there's a large group of individual users who were assigned the wrong policy through direct assignment, you can use unassign policies in bulk to remove these assignments.

You can unassign policies in bulk from the Microsoft Teams admin center .

In the top right corner of the page, select Unassign policies in bulk from the Actions drop-down menu.

Manage users page in the Teams admin center.

You can also unassign policies from the individual policy pages by choosing a policy and selecting Manage users .

Select a policy type.

Unassign policies in bulk page in the Teams admin center.

Choose the policy that you want to reassign and select Load data to get the number of users who are currently assigned to that policy.

When you choose a policy, you're removing all of the individually assigned users from that policy.

Select Unassign policy .

After you unassign policies, you can review operation details in the Activity log .
