School Teams Accounts - Separated Parents
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...

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

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.

- CoffeeFueledCurmudgeonMar 07, 2022Copper ContributorHi,
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?- Mar 07, 2022Hello, 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).
- CoffeeFueledCurmudgeonMar 07, 2022Copper ContributorI don't think it's a guest account. I think the childrens accounts have been created as part of the school org.
So, when checking here https://myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations it says "Your home organisation is the organisation that manages your account. You can't leave your home organisations.
Does this mean the school has incorrectly set up these accounts as internal accounts rather than guest accounts?
The issue here is that the childs father, a known offender, is demanding access to teams for parents evening. The mothers teams account seems inextricably linked to both her personal and work accounts and she is understandably reluctant to share a login that appears linked to her other logins.
The school has advised they will reset the password and share with the known offender, but given the AAD links to both personal and work accounts as well as Microsoft Authenticator it seems likely that this will either fail, or lead to a GDPR breach as well as a safeguarding failure where victims are should be shielded from abusers.
Thank you for any guidance. I need to speak to school IT later as the headteacher simply doesn't get it and can't see why they can't just create a guest account to provide the father with his own login.
