Hi,

Is it possible to add an AAD guest user as a team owner in a Teams space?

I'd like external staff to be able to administer some Teams spaces without the need for us to create a service type account and pay for licensing.

    Technically, it's possible to assign a Guest as an owner for a Team. However, it's not an officially supported scenario, so you should expect some issues with it, in case you decide to try it.

    @bc-consultancy,

    Agree with Michev, this feature is not supported now.

    I have created a feedback about this feature by this link: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/41969371-assign-teams-guest-user-as-teams-owner. You could vote for it.

    Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience. Some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service.

    Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.
