Microsoft Graph API: Can I create an application-level user presence subscription with extended expiry time for all users of an organization?

Question

I am currently using Microsoft Graph API to create a subscription for User Presence, but I can only do so at the delegated level for up to 650 users with one token for an organization. Additionally, the expiry time for these subscriptions is only 59 minutes, meaning I have to renew them frequently. Is there any news on when application-level user presence subscriptions with extended expiry time will be available for all the users of an organization?

Answer 1

@sandeep singh According to the Microsoft Graph API documentation, it is currently not possible to create an application-level user presence subscription with an extended expiry time for all users of an organization ¹. The user presence subscription is currently limited to delegated permissions and has a maximum duration of 60 minutes ².

However, Microsoft is constantly updating and improving the Graph API, so it is possible that this feature may be added in the future ¹. You can keep an eye on the Microsoft Graph API documentation for any updates or changes to the API ¹.

In the meantime, you can try using delegated permissions to create user presence subscriptions for individual users ². You can also try renewing the subscriptions frequently to ensure that they do not expire ².

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Microsoft Graph API subscriptions for user presence are typically limited to delegated permissions, and they indeed have relatively short expiration times (commonly around 59 minutes). These limitations are in place for security and privacy reasons.

Microsoft Graph API evolves over time, and new features, permissions, and improvements are regularly introduced. To get the most up-to-date information on whether application-level user presence subscriptions with extended expiry times will be available for all users in an organization, you should refer to the official Microsoft Graph API documentation and any release notes provided by Microsoft.

Visit the Microsoft Graph API documentation and look for updates or announcements related to user presence subscriptions and application-level permissions. Microsoft may introduce new features and capabilities in response to user feedback and evolving security and privacy considerations.
