Unable to unblock a user. "We can't unblock this person at the moment. Try again later."
Hi
Good news today.
I had a meeting with Microsoft representative.
Blocked user was removed using a Rest Request with his objectid on hidden API with my session opened.
Edit:
Détail of REST Request
URL : https://teams.microsoft.com/api/mt/part/emea-02/beta/usersettings/blocklist/manage
POST : {"remove":["8:orgid:<objectid>"]}
Replacing <objectid> with the user objectid you want to release
Thank you so much for the response. Could you expand a little on "with my session opened"?
I'm in the US, so I believe I need to change the url to /amer-02/. I'm getting 401 Unauthorized when I run the REST request. Did Microsoft run the command from their end or as your ID?
Thanks for all the help so far.

Actions was done with Edge browser
Just login to teams in web mode using Edge
Then, as far as i remember :
Open Settings > more tools > developer tools
In lower pane > Network console > create a request
Select POST then fill URL
then in body part you can add RAW TEXT with application/json drop box and Rest request in body
then click SEND button and wait a while before check blocking status
- Dave WingraveNov 16, 2022Copper ContributorHi, I keep getting 401 errors when connecting to the URL (using emea-02), did u have to do anything different to get the request to run? Any help would be gratefully received as i have a single user who has someone blocked and we cannot unblock that person. I believe Blocking is only available for the Home/Personal version of Teams......
