Considerations

• When a team creation request is approved, the approver is indicated as the team creator in Microsoft 365 and the Microsoft Graph API. Essentially, the approver creates the team on behalf of the requestor.
• Requestors can see the status of their request in the end-user app.
• Approval actions appear in your activity log.
