If a user is a member of at least one team that has descendants in the hierarchy, that user can publish to those descendants without being a member of all teams they want to publish to.The owner of a team is also granted publishing permissions.

Permission to publish depends on whether a user is a member of any teams in the hierarchy plus the relationship of that team or set of teams to other teams in the hierarchy. Each node in the hierarchy represents a working group or group of groups. One of the first priorities is deciding which organizational groups need to publish tasks to other groups. They must be leaf nodes.īefore you create the schema that defines your hierarchy, you need to do some planning and decide how you want to shape your organization.

A node with no children is called a leaf node.District 01, Store 01, Store 03, Store 07, District 02, and District 03 are all descendants of Area 1. Multiple levels of children are referred to as descendants.In the example, District 01 is a child node of Area 1. Parent nodes and child nodes are terms that represent a relationship between two connected nodes.In the example, Retail Communications is a root node. Root nodes are the topmost nodes in the hierarchy.The following terms will be important as you navigate hierarchies. As a result, task publishing requires users to be assigned licenses that include Microsoft Planner. The task publishing experience is available within the Tasks app in Teams but is powered by Microsoft Planner. When selecting teams, the publishing team can filter by hierarchy, by attributes, or a combination of both. After a task list is created, members of the publishing team can then select the recipient teams to send (publish) the task list to. Here's an example of how the hierarchy is represented in the Tasks app in Teams. You won't see a hierarchy of teams in other areas of Microsoft Teams. Applying a team targeting hierarchy to your organization will enable task publishing in the Tasks app. For the initial release, only the Tasks app supports hierarchical teams.
