1. Why can’t I create a public Team on my own?
To protect sensitive information and maintain compliance, public Teams require review and creation by an administrator. This ensures proper governance and prevents accidental data exposure.

- Public Team: Visible to everyone in the organization; anyone can join.

Submit a request through the EIT HelpDesk. Include:
