Allow Teams Owners to Feed Delete Posts
ChrisWebbTech VasilMichev adam deltinger Hello, done some digging and as far as I can tell it hasn't always been enabled by default https://petri.com/controlling-message-deletion-teams
This is your own reply from another conversation just recently Chris.
"Messaging policy first need to be enabled: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/messaging/
'Owners can delete sent messages' is one that enables the ability to set at the Team level that owners can delete messages per Team setting.
It takes time for this to apply, but without it, the options in the Manage Team > Settings Tab will not appear."
Delete Posts from General Channel - Microsoft Tech Community
This article even tells you that you have to enable it:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/education/deploy/enable-teachers-to-delete-conversations-in-microsoft-teams
So, if we should give the conversation starter a fair and correct answer. What should it be? Let me remind you that I'm not able to verify any settings myself as my account is disabled due to parental leave.
- I don't have a fresh tenant to verify what the default setting is on new tenant, but whatever the policy is set to is what all Teams will have by default unless explicitly specified off. So soon as it's on every Team has it on by default unless turned off.
ChrisWebbTech Hey! Thanks for getting back to me!
Do you mean that if you use the messaging policy to enable the possibility for "owners to delete messages" then the checkbox under the Team settings will appear and the default value will be on, but free for owners to toggle on/off.
Or do you mean that the messaging policy has it enabled by default so the checkbox under the Teams settings is already ticked and need to be disabled with the messaging policy if you don't want to allow the possibility for the owners to toggle on/off?
If not, please elaborate. Just want to make sure I understand what you mean.
adam deltinger LinusCansby any input?
Cheers!
