AI summary
Rencore Governance tracks detailed properties for all Microsoft Teams in your tenant, including classification, risk scores, member roles, and SharePoint integration. Teams are organized into segments such as archived, private, new, or public, and built-in policies identify governance issues like missing owners, disabled accounts, inactive teams, and security concerns. You can take direct actions including archiving, deleting, changing titles, and managing membership to help enforce governance policies and maintain team standards.
