Teams Administrator Powers

Question

An employee at my company created our teams account, and made himself the administrator. Since then, I have made myself an administrator as well.
If in the future this employee leaves the company, will he have the ability to delete our teams or view or teams since he was the one who created our account, even if I delete him from our teams?
Also, if I create a team but do not invite him to that team, is he still able to see/ access it?

Thanks

@Jordan Ellis ,

If you mean the employee’s account is deleted in Azure Active Directory after he leaves your company, it is sure that he will lose access to your teams. If you just remove him from teams, he is still in your organization and has permission to manage Microsoft Teams.

Besides, please note that if this employee is a technical contact in your organization, it is suggested to change the technical contact information as below:

1. In the admin center, go to the Settings > Org settings page.
2. On the Organization profile tab, select Organization information.
3. Update your organization's information, then select Save changes. Be sure to fill in all required fields marked with an * to enable saving your changes.
