"Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business Admin Center", "Messaging Policies", "Global.." (the only policy), "Owners can delete sent messages" is set to "On".
Yet, messages other than the owners chat messages can not be deleted. Is this setting working? Or, am I doing this wrong somehow?

This does indeed make the delete option appear after I create the policy and apply it to the users in the team. Did have to close the teams app and open again to see the result. Thank you!
Why isn't the global policy working as intended? If it isn't, is there an easy way to apply the policy to every single user in a company? (500+ users would be an awful lot of clicking)

I did verify that these were set correctly. Thanks!

@Chris Webb I created a new messaging policy to include the "Owners can delete sent messages" option, and assigned it to myself. I signed out of Teams, then signed back in and went to a team I'm owner of, went to Manage Team > Settings > Member Permissions but see no corresponding option to allow owners to delete messages.
I know it's been a while since this thread was updated so I went looking through other settings. I do see a Guest Permissions section but don't see another section for Owners.
Has the setting moved or does it work differently now, or might this be a bug?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

@Chris Webb We are having an issue with the owner of Teams being able to delete the messages that members of the Team send in Conversations. Under Settings --> Member Permissions, there is no option for "Owners can delete all messages" in my coworker's Team like there is on my Teams. Why does his Teams not have this option in Settings like I do? Is there a way that we can restore it?
Thank you for your help.

@Thuyavan Ganesan : Isn't the requirement is for owners to delete the messages? What it looks like in screen shot is you are deleting your own post. Am I understanding it correct?

Here to say that here we are, at the very end of 2020 almost exactly two years later from Adam_Griffin's post, and my experience is identical. Added 'owners can delete' permission to global policy, nothing happened. Created new policy with delete permissions, applied to myself, logged out of teams and back in, and magically I can delete things.

It is now 2021 @evilcreamsicle and I am also seeing the same thing! I have:
My problem now is that clicking "delete" does NOTHING!!!! Clicking delete in either Teams app is simply like poking a dead body with a stick.....

SCRATCH THAT . . . IT FINALLY STARTED WORKING!!! :call_me_hand:

@surferstylee I am now having this issue. I've spent 4 hours on the phone with support, and they're telling me it's "normal" for the delete option to not work....
Preposterous nonsense. It also doesn't matter what kind of account is involved either. Why have the option if it's not designed to work?
So how did you get it to work? lol..... Inquiring minds want to know.

@nz2ocasey , do you have the 2 settings enabled?
If so, are you able to see the delete option in Teams? Have you tried via web app?

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your reply. When I said same issue, I meant exactly same as what you were encountering, as I had scoured the whole thread for possible solutions.
What I verified (in fact, repeatedly with Microsoft Support - lol....) :
What I found weird, was:
What did I do to fix it? I didn't, TECHNICALLY fix it, but I found a possible workaround in a non-MS group.... So... I'll say that the support I received from the US was decidedly better....and confirmed, something isn't right.... but, the fact that they couldn't take the ticket away from India's reps who were pretending to not hear me, is a problem.
The problem though, is when I repeat the same steps for my other owner/admin, it does NOT resolve the issue....
Not sure how I'm supposed to feel considering we have Office Enterprise...and that my OTHER (day job) uses the same for over 50,000 licensed employees....

@nz2ocasey..... It is odd that you would run into those challenges after making the same configurations I outlined. I wish I could provide some detailed insight as to why you are experiencing the challenges you described, but I am unaware of what would be the root cause my friend.
Good luck with it moving forward and at least the challenges keep us with a job!! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
