Teams policy packages for frontline workers
Overview
A policy package in Microsoft Teams is a collection of predefined policies and policy settings that you can assign to users who have similar roles in your organization. Policy packages simplify, streamline, and help provide consistency when managing policies. To learn more, see Managing policy packages in Teams.
You can customize the settings of the policies in a package to suit the needs of your users. When you change the settings of policies in a policy package, all users who are assigned to that package get the updated settings. You can manage policy packages by using the Microsoft Teams admin center or PowerShell.
This article gives you an overview of the Frontline manager and Frontline worker policy packages included in Teams.
| Package name in the Teams admin center | Description |
|---|---|
| Frontline manager | Creates a set of policies and applies those settings to frontline managers in your organization. |
| Frontline worker | Creates a set of policies and applies those settings to frontline workers in your organization. |
Each individual policy is given the name of the policy package so you can easily identify the policies that are linked to a policy package. For example, when you assign the Frontline manager policy package to store managers in your organization, a policy named Frontline_Manager is created for each policy in the package.

Decide whether the predefined values are appropriate for your organization or whether you need to customize them to be more restrictive or lenient based on your organization's needs.
