Your company has a Microsoft Office 365 subscription. All users can create private channels. You need to prevent specific users from creating private…

The ability for users to create private channels within a team is controlled by a Teams policy. By default, the global (Org-wide default) policy allows private channel creation. To prevent specific users from this action, an administrator must create a new custom Teams policy where the "Create private channels" setting is turned off. This new policy is then assigned directly to the specific users who should be restricted, overriding the global default for them.

B: A meeting policy controls features available within Teams meetings, such as screen sharing, recording, and transcription, not channel creation.

C: A setup policy is used to customize the Teams app experience for users, such as pinning specific apps to the navigation bar.

D: A permission policy controls which apps (e.g., third-party, custom) users are allowed to install or use within Teams.
