Once disconnected, the team will:
Become a normal team with invite-only membership.
Still be attached to any work from when it was connected to a group.
For any changes to a group that’s connected to a team:
The connected team will be deleted. The team can still be restored within 30 days, but it will be restored as an unverified team with invite-only membership and it will no longer be verified.

If you disconnect the identity provider from Atlassian entirely, the group will become a local group and the team will still be connected to the group.
