Title: Admins may be unable to access the Microsoft Teams admin center through the Microsoft 365 portal link

User impact: Admins may be unable to access the Microsoft Teams admin center through the Microsoft 365 portal as the link is missing.

More info: As our efforts to remediate the impact continue, most affected admins can navigate directly to the Microsoft Teams admin center using the following link:

https://admin.teams.microsoft.com

Government Community Cloud (GCC) and Government Community Cloud High (GCCH) admins should use the following link:

https://admin.gov.teams.microsoft.us/teams/manage

We’ve developed a fix which is being validated to ensure its effectiveness prior to deployment.

Scope of impact: Admins attempting to access the Microsoft Teams admin center through the link provided in the Microsoft 365 portal are impacted by this event.
