School Teams Accounts - Separated Parents

Question

Our school has created teams' logins per child rather than per parent.

Single Sign On through Microsoft Services makes sharing this login between parents, especially where a background of domestic abuse or controlling and coercive behaviour has occurred, impractical and dangerous for victims.

At present, logging into the school teams account by the parent also links their professional and personal accounts.

Given that the school only uses these accounts for online learning and video calls, is there any reason an account cannot be created 'per parent' where parents are separated?

Or, how does a parent completely remove the teams account from SSO so that it no longer logs them into linked accounts?

Can a Guest Access be created purely for the purpose of Parent/Teacher Evening calls?

As mentioned in the previous post it sounds as if the computer has been added to the schools org. so look under the W10 settings - Accounts and disconnect the computer/account from the org.

This is where you see if your account is being a guest user

Hello, oh this was long ago. Not sure what you're asking, but a guest account password cannot be reset by a resource org. It has to be done by the end-user or the host org. (where it belongs).

Not sure where to start here so bear with me. Teams accounts are not supposed to be shared, so the school didn't set it up properly from my point of view. Each person should get their own invitation/account of course, if they are supposed to be guests in the school tenant/org in the first place. I.e. one can always attend a Teams meeting even without a Teams account, if they allow for anonymous join (not signed in with an account). The SSO you mention is part of Teams modern authentication/OAuth and most likely the computer account (a personal I suppose) has ended up under the W10 account settings being registered in the schools AAD. You can remove that account from there to disconnect the association.

Hope that answers your question.

ChristianJBergstrom&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you. The school seems unable to understand the concept that these accounts are automatically linked at AAD level.&nbsp;Is there anything my partner can do to remove the school teams account herself from her work and personal accounts?

Hi,Can I ask, given the schools ignorance, what impact on the personal user account would the school resetting the password and sharing it with the known offender have on the personal account security?
