Teams - Person's Status

[Jawloms]

We have a student who is hardly in school, and not particularly interested in working much at home who has changed their status to something inappropriate. As an Admin am I able to change it, or would I need to either get her to do it, or failing that reset her password and change it myself?

 

Thank you

I've not come across anything on the backend that would allow you to change another users status unfortunatly, I'd say the quickest way would be to get her to do it or reset her passsword

 

following a quick look at the powershell reference it dosen't look as though any of the commands is able to alter status messages either

There is a user voice for Teams and a much older one for S4B requesting a way to programmatically be able to update a users status message. Had a quick look at the graph API and nothing in there so no chance for PowerShell, keep an eye on the beta endpoints you will then 1be able to set this via a graph call and 2 know that there is a PS cmdlet in the pipeline. (or make a ps cmdlet)

OT but do can you point to any dummy's guides to Graph API? Totally comfortable in powershell, but this text-string based json nonsense from the unix world makes me feel like a noob again.

Best place to learn is on the Graph Explorer it's self and this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview

 

It's one of those things that i have never picked up a book for just happened one day while I was PowerShell'ing and it clicked and I have never looked back! It has helped me as I know that for instance the Teams PS cmdlets essentially initiate graph calls in the background.
