Hi Tony,
I have one confusion, Either I misread or i am doing something wrong. This is about page no. 542, I tested and this statement doesn’t seems to be true
“team owners can’t access the contents of a private channel unless they become a member. If they’re not a member, the only indication that a team owner has of activity within the channel is the timestamp for the channel in the Manage channels list.”
I am logged in to Teams as admin@learnsj.onmicrosoft.com, This is user is only an admin of a private channel and not listed as admin but He is able to see all content being shared in that channel.
Is it expected ? it not then book needs correction.
The owner of a team cannot access the contents of a private channel in the team unless they are a member of the private channel,
I just tested this again and I see that the timestamp for the private channels isn’t being updated. This is possibly due to some of the current restrictions that are happening – or Microsoft has changed it. In any case, the text in the chapter has been updated and now is (for the May 2020 update):
Channel owners can add new members to a private channel using the Teams client and team owners and administrators can update channel membership with PowerShell. However, team owners can’t access the contents of a private channel unless they become a member. Although they can see private channels listed in the Channels tab of the Manage team option in the Teams client, if they’re not a member, the only sign of activity in a private channel that a team owner sees is through administrative interfaces. For instance, if they examine the properties of a private channel returned by the Get-SPOSite cmdlet, the LastContentModifiedDate property might show that some content was recently changed in the site belonging to the channel. Evidence of file activities in the channel is also captured in the audit log.

Thank you for the answer.
