Limitations & technical notes

!This is an on-demand administration service, not a fixed implementation project or guaranteed service-level agreement unless a separate managed services agreement states otherwise.
!This service originally covered Skype for Business Online administration. Microsoft retired Skype for Business Online in 2021, and the service now covers the equivalent Microsoft Teams administration settings; availability of individual settings depends on the customer tenant, licensing, and current Microsoft admin center capabilities.
!External communication and federation behavior may depend on both the customer tenant settings and the external organization’s policies, DNS, security controls, and Microsoft service configuration.
!Activity report data is subject to Microsoft 365 reporting availability, retention, aggregation, and latency; reports may not show real-time activity.
!Work is limited to the listed administration responsibilities. End-user training, local desktop/client configuration, deployment, dial-in conferencing, PSTN Calling, Teams Phone implementation, network remediation, and unrelated Microsoft 365 issues require separate scope.
!Some configuration changes can affect user experience, such as who can communicate externally or how presence and notifications behave. Customer approval should be obtained before changes are applied.

What Microsoft Teams administration tasks are included in this service?

This service includes administration support for external Microsoft Teams user communication, external access (federation) configuration, presence visibility settings, mobile notification settings, customized meeting invitations, and Activity Reports monitoring in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. These items define the core service scope, so requests should relate directly to Microsoft Teams administration.

Can this service manage Microsoft Teams presence visibility settings?

Yes. IT Partner can help choose who sees whether coworkers are online in the Microsoft Teams presence feature, because presence visibility administration is one of the listed responsibilities for this service.

Can IT Partner turn Microsoft Teams mobile notifications on or off?

Yes. The service includes administration support to turn mobile notifications on or off for Microsoft Teams, so IT Partner can assist with that configuration as part of an on-demand support request.

Can IT Partner customize Microsoft Teams meeting invitations?

Yes. IT Partner can help create customized meeting invitations for Microsoft Teams, because customized meeting invitations are listed as an included deliverable.

Does this service include monitoring Microsoft Teams activity reports?

Yes. IT Partner can monitor Activity Reports in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center as part of this service. This is limited to the activity reporting responsibility listed in the scope and should not be assumed to include broader Microsoft 365 reporting or analytics unless confirmed separately.

What is not included in Microsoft Teams Administrator on Demand?

This service does not include training customer teams, desktop software settings, Microsoft Teams deployment, dial-in conferencing setup, or PSTN Calling setup. It is intended for specific Microsoft Teams administration tasks, not implementation projects or end-user training.

What issues remain the customer’s responsibility?

The service is a recurring 30-day managed service: covered requests are handled on demand as they arise during each service period. How long an individual request takes depends on the specific administration task.

Are there prerequisites for using this service?

How is Microsoft Teams Administrator on Demand priced?

Microsoft Teams Administrator on Demand is $1 per seat per 30-day service period. If your user count or billing scenario is unusual, confirm the final monthly cost with IT Partner before purchasing.
