5. What’s the difference between an owner team, an access team, and a Microsoft Entra ID group team?

These are different types of teams in Dataverse, mainly used for record ownership and access management.

1. Owner Team : An owner team can own Dataverse records. For example, a Sales Team can own customer records. Members of the team can get access to those records based on their security roles and team privileges. Owner teams can also have security roles assigned to them.

2. Access Team : An access team does not own records and does not have security roles. It is mainly used to give a group of users access to a specific record. For example, you can give five users access to one particular Employee record without changing who owns that record.

3. Microsoft Entra ID Group Team: A Microsoft Entra ID group team is linked to a Microsoft Entra ID group. Instead of manually adding users to the Dataverse team one by one, membership is managed through the Microsoft Entra ID group. When users are added to or removed from the Entra ID group, their Dataverse team membership is managed accordingly.
