8. Why Provision
Teams?
We’ve seen SharePoint sprawl
Now it’s MS Teams sprawl
In the Past – SharePoint site
Provisioning
Real World - Project Management
Sites
• Customers are building out lots of MS
Teams for projects
• Need a central place to manage or find
project sites

10. Architecture
users
SharePoint
List
Power Automate
Azure Active
Directory (AAD)
MS Teams MS Graph

11. SharePoint & Power Automate
Used as a data store to
hold the requests in a list
Users will fill in a list form
SharePoint list forms
customize with
PowerApps
Lists can trigger Power
Automate Flows
Customize form with
SharePoint list back end
Allows for fancier forms
Can easily hide / show
fields that we don’t want
the user to see or interact
with

12. Power Automate
Workflow used to create our Teams Site
Handles the updates back to our SharePoint list
Contact requestor when the MS Team is created and provision complete
Flexible to add or update enhancements

13. Azure Active Directory (AAD) & MS Graph
Used to take the MS Teams ID and get the MS Teams Site URL
Must create AAD App Registration
to query MS Graph
Permissions – What the app can query
Credentials – Client ID / Client Secret
This information will be added to our Power Automate Flow
