Microsoft Teams - 365 - apply policies

[cookie_monsta]

Good morning,

 

One of the schools in our foundation would like to use Microsoft Teams with the younger students. However the default policies allows near enough everything.

 

I have created a bespoke policy which should stop students messaging each other via Teams etc.

 

However, I am unable to apply this bespoke policy to a certain group of students unless I apply the policy manually. (might be worth noting that there are 3 other schools in our foundation and all 4 are covered by the same O365 subscription)

 

Does any one have a suggestion how to apply a policy based on group membership or another identifier for a certain set of students?

 

Microsoft support have been as useful as a chocolate fireguard (apologies to all good fireguards out there).

 

Many thanks in advance

You can use powershell to apply the policies to the students

Not yet sadly. If I do I will update this thread

That is true but that will apply the policy to all students.

 

I/we need apply a bespoke policy to a specific set of students.

<#
Create a messaging policy and assign it to users via csv.
#>

$CSVfilepath = "csv file with user ids exported from o365"
$data = Import-Csv "$($CSVfilepath)" -Header UserId –delimiter ","
foreach($line in $data)
{
   $userId = $line.UserId
   Write-Host $userId
   Grant-CsTeamsMessagingPolicy -PolicyName "PolicyName" -Identity $userId

}

No worries, you can also get one of the MS guys to dial and create the script for you.

I find them very useful at times.

Sadly MS "Support" have not been very helpful at all with this issue and they was firmly advised that its not possible to assign a bespoke policy to a certain group of students.

REALLY! they were the one who initially provided me with the script.

i usually raise a case through the o365 admin portal when in the specific section e.g teams admin centre.

I never have good experience when calling up.
