"Cannot set the presence of another user" by using the Presence GraphAPI - changing the presence of another user

Question

Describe the bug By using the grapAPI with the presence statusmessage function, i get the following error: "Cannot set the presence of another user... Status: 401 Unauthorized"

I tried this with the graphapi over https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer and with the Microsoft.Graph.Users.Actions Powershell Module.

For both with my admin user that has the required consensts . (Presence.ReadWrite)

To Reproduce in Powershell `Import-Module ActiveDirectory Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Authentication Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.Users Connect-MgGraph Presence.ReadWrite

$params = @{ statusMessage = @{ message = @{ content = "Hey, this is a test" contentType = "text" } expiryDateTime = @{ dateTime = "2024-04-02T20:05:33.2079781" timezone = "Europe/Berlin" } } } Set-MgUserPresenceStatusMessage -UserId "UserID" -BodyParameter $params Disconnect-MgGraph`

To Reproduce in the graphAPI url: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/[UserID]/presence/setStatusMessage Body: { "statusMessage": { "message": { "content": "Hey, this is a test", "contentType": "text" } } }

Expected behavior Chaning the statusmsg in teams

Has your user been delegated the authority to change the status of the other user?

I don't think it's really a PowerShell problem, though.
