In Microsoft Teams, I am listed as an organizer inside meetings, but I cannot confirm this outside of meetings.

In my line of work, my supervisor sets up meetings for Microsoft Teams, setting me as an organizer, but tasks me with doublechecking that I have all the proper permissions, particularly being able to invite people into the meeting as they join and to manage rooms.

The only way I can check to see if I'm an organizer is to start the meeting. When I look at the meeting details in the calendar, I cannot find a way to edit the meeting and I am not listed as an organizer. How do I find out if I'm properly set up as the organizer without starting the meeting?

Hi @Carnaggio, Stephen, 

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern regarding Teams meeting role confirmation. I understand that you want a reliable way to confirm your role before the meeting starts, especially when you’re expected to manage entry and rooms.  

Based on your description, in Microsoft Teams, the clearest self check is to open the meeting from your calendar, open the meeting details, and select the “Meeting options” link. If that link opens successfully for you and you can access the Roles section, that is strong confirmation your account is recognized with the elevated meeting role that can manage meeting options. 

Once you are set as a co organizer, you should be able to admit people from the lobby as they join. You can also manage breakout rooms, as long as you are in the same organization as the meeting organizer, since breakout room management has that tenant requirement. 

If you open Meeting options and you cannot access it, or you do not see the role related options, then the safest next step is to ask your supervisor to recheck the assignment under Meeting options, since co organizers are selected there and must be eligible invitees (for example, external participants cannot be made co organizers). 

For more information, please refer to this article Add co-organizers to a meeting in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support

    Teams currently exposes organizer/co-organizer status mainly through meeting options and in-meeting controls; the provided context does not document any way to verify organizer status outside the meeting beyond what is visible in the calendar entry itself.
