Prevent users to change profil photo

Brass Contributor

I want to prevent users that they can change the company's profile picture, but I cannot find the solution on the web. I have tried several solutions, but still is the user capable to change the profile photo... What is the best solution for it?

 

For example: this is not working for me:

@Sebastian Cerazy - what we noticed at my workplace is that if the user’s O365 account is only a mailcontact and not a mailbox then all the policies are of no use and the user is still allowed to upload photos

Full user with A5 license

we had everything locked down and found users were changing in Windows.

Yes, that what I found. User can change local machine profile & that somehow propagates to Azure random bits
Very annoying!

We also need a solution for this. I'm now looking into building a custom automation process in azure to run on a weekly basis and overwrite user photos with the company approved photos. Not sure how feasible this? Has anyone done anything similar?

Sure, have Salamander doing it nightly

 

 

Microsoft changed the way that user photos are updated recently (Graph SDK is used now). Here's information about the change including a pointer to a script to update user photos from a central store: https://office365itpros.com/2023/10/09/user-photo-cmdlets/ What apps are causing a problem for you?
