To restrict communication between users in the Research team with other teams, we need to configure the Teams communication settings. Among the given options, the most appropriate solution would be to configure Information Barrier policies. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
Information Barrier policies allow organizations to set up policies that restrict communication between users and teams in specific scenarios. These policies are based on the properties of users, such as their job role, department, or location. By configuring Information Barrier policies, we can restrict users in the Research team from communicating with other users in different teams.
To configure Information Barrier policies in Microsoft Teams, follow the below steps:
Log in to the Microsoft Teams Admin Center using your admin credentials.
Click on the 'Policies' tab, and then select the 'Information Barriers' option.
Click on the 'New Policy' button to create a new policy.
In the 'General' tab, enter a name and description for the policy.
In the 'Scenarios' tab, select the 'Communication' scenario.
In the 'Users and groups' tab, select the Research team and add it to the 'Included' list.
In the 'Users and groups' tab, add any other groups or users that should be restricted from communicating with the Research team.
In the 'Settings' tab, select the types of communication that should be restricted, such as chat, audio, or video.
Click on the 'Save' button to save the policy.
Once the Information Barrier policy is configured, users in the Research team will only be able to communicate with other users in the same team. The policy will prevent them from communicating with users in other departments, including Sales, Accounts, and Production.
Therefore, by configuring Information Barrier policies, we can restrict communication between users and teams in specific scenarios and ensure that users in the Research team can only communicate with other users in the same team.
