Explanation

This question tests knowledge of which Microsoft 365 admin tools are used for specific Teams lifecycle management tasks, particularly when the administrator is not a team owner but holds the Global admin role.

Approach. Archive a team → Microsoft Teams admin center: Global admins can archive any team (making it read-only) directly from the Teams admin center (admin.teams.microsoft.com > Teams > Manage teams), without needing to be a team owner. Restore a deleted team → Azure Active Directory admin center: When a team is deleted, its underlying Microsoft 365 Group enters a 30-day soft-delete period. Restoration is performed by restoring the deleted Microsoft 365 Group from the Azure AD admin center (Deleted groups blade), not from the Teams admin center. Permanently delete a team → Azure Active Directory admin center: To purge a soft-deleted team before the 30-day window expires, an admin must permanently delete the associated Microsoft 365 Group from the Azure AD admin center's Deleted groups section. The Teams desktop client is unsuitable for all three tasks because it restricts team management actions to team owners, and a non-owner compliance admin cannot archive, restore, or permanently delete via the client UI.

Concept tested. Microsoft Teams compliance lifecycle management - understanding that team archiving is handled in the Teams admin center, while restoring and permanently deleting teams requires working with the underlying Microsoft 365 Group through the Azure Active Directory admin center.

Reference. MS-700 / Microsoft Teams Administrator Associate exam domain: Manage Teams environments; Microsoft Docs - 'Archive or restore a team in Microsoft Teams' and 'Restore a deleted Microsoft 365 group'
