Starting on January 15, 2025, the Converting Owner team to Access team and reassigning Team’s records feature will be made available in the Power Platform admin center (PPAC).
How does this affect me?
Previously, converting the owner team to an access team and reassigning team’s records could be performed in the Dataverse legacy Web client. Administrators can now perform these functions in PPAC by navigating to Environment > Settings > Users + Permissions > Teams.
Convert owner team to access team:
- Any owner team can be converted to an access team. Before you convert the owner team to an access team, all records owned by the owner team must be reassigned to another user or owner team.
- Once the owner team is converted to an access team, the access team cannot own any records.
- The conversion cannot be reverted.
Reassign records owned by an owner team to another user or owner Team:
- All records owned by the owner team can be reassigned.

The recent announcement regarding the GA of the Convert Owner team to Access team and Reassign team records feature in the Power Platform admin center is certainly a game-changer for both admins and users alike. Set to roll out on January 15, 2025, this update brings a fresh wave of efficiency and organization to how teams manage records in the Dataverse.
For admins, the ability to convert owner teams to access teams directly in the Power Platform admin center is a much-needed upgrade from the legacy web client. Now, navigating through Environment > Settings > Users Permissions > Teams will streamline the process significantly. No longer will admins need to juggle multiple interfaces; they can manage everything from one centralized hub. This not only saves time but also reduces the chances of errors that come with toggling between different platforms.
On the flip side, users will benefit from clearer ownership structures and enhanced record management. The requirement to reassign records before converting an owner team to an access team means that everyone will have a clearer understanding of who holds what responsibility. While it may seem like a bit of extra work initially, it ultimately fosters accountability and ensures that records are not lost in the shuffle. Just think of it as a spring cleaning for your data – a little effort now can lead to a much tidier and more manageable system later!
As for the impact of these changes, it could be monumental. With increased clarity and organization, teams can function more effectively, leading to improved collaboration and productivity. Plus, the new features encourage best practices in record management, which is always a win in the world of data governance.
