setStatusMessage by an application for other users

Question

Hey.

I would like to know how is it possible for an application registered in Azure AD can make this call: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-Id}/presence/setStatusMessage

From this link, presence: setStatusMessage - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Learn I can see that an application able to make the request, but can make the request on behalf of another user? If yes, how and what kind of permissions the application need?

I’m not asking about to retrieve an access token, only of how an application could make that POST request.

Hi @gn-ains

You can use postman to send POST request and note that if you want to set the status of another user, use the application permission Presence.ReadWrite.All and use the client credential flow to get the token.

After testing, the endpoint works very well, and the test results are as follows:

See this link for more information about client credential flows:

Hope this helps.
