MS Teams "Teams" appear as App workspaces in Power BI - why, can I disable?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

ever since our infrastructure team introduced MS Teams, many Power BI users have been confused by new "mysterious" workspaces appearing. It turns out that every time a Team is created in MS Teams, it automatically creates a workspace in Power BI, with all team members as workspace members. We have fought hard to bring order into chaos, with disabling members to create workspaces, and now this happens.. What is worse, I as a Power BI admin don't often have access to these workspaces and cannot help/troubleshoot.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior? We still want to have MS Teams, but not have them appear in Power BI.

Based on my research, the new, in-preview workspaces may alleviate this, but they appear far from ready to be released, with features such as usage metrics etc. still missing, so I am not yet willing and comfortable to make the switch.

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my research, it do will create a workspace in your Power BI and now there is no option to block this feature, I suggest you submit an idea in ideas forum:

I concur with this

We also started using teams, and now have many additional workspaces, where I've tried to whittle down what we had
