The Misleading Teams Remove External Chat from User View API
The Graph removeAllAccessForUser API is supposed to remove external chat messages from the view of a tenant user when the chat contains some objectionable material. Unless the documentation is errone...
Hi, I agree this needs very clear wording because admins may assume it removes more than it actually does.
I would validate the behavior in three places:
1. The affected user's Teams client view.
2. eDiscovery / Purview search.
3. The external participant's view, if available.
Many Teams APIs affect visibility or access for a specific user, but do not necessarily delete the underlying compliance record or remove content from every participant. If the documentation implies broader removal, I would open a docs feedback item and include the exact API call, expected result, and actual result.
