Tag Management for guests and the new Teams without Tag Settings

Owners and members can manage Tags in a team, depending on the configuration of the team.

Since January, the Teams settings in the Teams Admin Center have included an additional configuration for “Team owners, members and guests” in the section “Who can manage tags”.

In the new Teams, I have been missing the configuration of who can manage tags in a team for a few weeks now. At least the owners of a team should be able to see the section.

A check in the Teams Admin Center confirms that team owners should be able to manage the configuration for tags.

Check in Teams Classic, the configuration for Tag management is still available, but without the option for guests.

This may be a bug in the new Teams, or owners of a team should no longer be able to change the settings for managing tags. I did not find an announced change. The documentation does not mention any changes either. The documentation mentions the unchanged default configuration per tenant.

If you haven’t selected an option for Who can manage tags, the Microsoft default setting is used. Microsoft default is set to both team owners and members.

In the new Teams, I carried out another test for managing tags with guests.
Guests can now manage tags if the configuration for “Who can manage tags” is activated for guests in the Teams Admin Center. Owners of a team cannot currently recognize the Tag configuration in their team independently. I couldn’t find a possibility.
