Can we restrict access to Manager's Outlook delegate so to not have access to a Teams Meeting chat?

VasilMichev Oh you're preaching to the choir, that said, my boss is reviewing this issue from a different ideology :). My boss, amongst other non-technical executives or the many who have limited understanding on how authorization is managed within Exchange / Outlook, are and I'm betting they aren't the only one will be surprised to know that their delegate has access to Team meeting chats between invited individuals, when they are not invited to the meeting. And Exchange / Outlook are different entities from Teams, again from the perspective of my boss, and their impression is that I provided the delegate to manage my Outlook calendars, not be able to snoop on my Teams meetings that they are not invited to.
All that said, I'm looking for Microsoft to explain the permissions that an Outlook delegate / meeting organizer (not invitee) to a Teams meeting has. So far my research hasn't found any reference, other than contact Microsoft support, and I feel that Microsoft could be transparent about this issue, as there maybe other permissions that we are not aware of, due to the Teams / Outlook integration.

Guess that's all folks.
