Q&A: When social teams are enabled, why do all pre-existing teams and new teams created (via teams or user import), default to the ‘private’ privacy type?

Question: When social teams are enabled, why do all pre-existing teams and new teams created (via teams or user import), default to the ‘private’ privacy type?

Answer: This is expected behaviour, as regular teams cannot be joined by someone, so by default, they are set as ‘private’.
