Remove an external chat from a user's view in Microsoft Teams (admin)

    Microsoft Teams

As a tenant administrator, you can use the new RemoveAllAccessForUser Graph API to remove an externally initiated chat from your user’s view.

Microsoft Teams admins might need to remove user chats created by people outside of your organization. For example, one of your users received a chat request from someone outside of your company. That chat could contain inappropriate or malicious content, and, as an admin, you can remove that chat to help protect your user.

To use the RemoveAllAccessForUser Graph API, you need to provide three parameters: the tenantId, the userId, and the chatsId/threadId. The tenantId is the unique identifier of your Teams tenant. The userId is the unique identifier of your user that you want to remove the chat for. The chatsId/threadId is the unique identifier of the Teams chat thread that you want to remove your user from.

You can obtain these three parameters from the new Unified Audit Log (UAL) events that are generated when an external user communicates with a user in your tenant. The UAL events contain information about the sender, the recipient, the chat thread, and the message. You can use the UAL events to identify the chat thread that you want to revoke access from, and then extract the tenantId, the userId, and the chatsId/threadId from the event details.

Steps to use the RemoveAllAccessForUser Graph API

  • Step 1: Search for the UAL events that match your criteria. If you want to find all events where a user was added to a chat, you can use the "MemberAdded" event in your search query.
  • Step 2: Extract the tenantId, the userId, and the chatsId/threadId from the UAL event details
  • Step 3: Call the RemoveAllAccessForUser Graph API with the desired parameters

Step 1: Search for UAL events

To search for specific UAL events, you can use the Search-UnifiedAuditLog graph API, or you can use the audit log search feature in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. The following instructions use the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. Perform the following steps:

  1. Sign in to https://compliance.microsoft.com as an audit log administrator.

  2. In the left navigation, select Audit.

  3. On the Audit log search page, specify the following criteria:

    • On the Audit page, select Search.
    • Activities: Select MemberAdded (and optionally MessageReceived) from the Activities – operation names field and choose MicrosoftTeams for the Workload.
    • Date range: Select a date range that covers the time period when the external user communicated with the user in your tenant. (optional) Users: Enter the UPN of the user in your tenant who you are interested in.

  4. Select Search. This command queues a search to run in the background.

Once complete, review the search results and identify the UAL events that involve the chat and user that you're interested in (Step 3 below).

Step 2: Extract the tenantId, the userId, and the chatsId/threadId from the UAL event details

To extract the tenantId, the userId, and the chatsId/threadId from the UAL event details, you can use the OrganizationId, UserKey, and ChatThreadId fields of the event. If you searched for the MemberAdded event, you might see events where your users were added to an external chat and also where your users added an external user to a chat. Find the events where your user in your tenant is in the Members detail section (indicates that this is the user that was added—see figure 2 below). To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Select one of the UAL events that involve the external user that you want to revoke access from.

  2. On the Event details pane:

    • Copy the value of the OrganizationId field. This value is the tenantId of your Teams tenant.
    • Copy the value of the UserKey field. This value is the userId of the user in your tenant that was added to the chat.
    • Copy the value of the ChatThreatId field. This value is the chatsId/threadId of the Teams chat thread that the message belongs to.

See the following screenshot showing an example of a Purview search result detail:

Step 3: Call the RemoveAllAccessForUser Graph API with the desired parameters

To call the RemoveAllAccessForUser Graph API with the parameters, you need to use an HTTP POST request to the graph API:

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/chats/{chatsId}/removeAllAccessForUser

Replace {chatsId} with the Id of the chat you want to act on. The request body should contain a JSON user object with the following properties:

  • tenantId: The tenantID of your Teams tenant.
  • Id: The userID of the user in your tenant that you want to move the chat from.

For example, a request might look like this:

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/chats/19:7d8980.........f94061cf8c2@unq.gbl.spaces/removeAllAccessForUser 
Content-Type: application/json 

{ 
  "user": { 
    "id" : "d864e79f-……..-0eeb4d61fdc2", 
    "tenantId": "2a690434-………-13600199a" 
  } 
}

To authenticate the request, you need to provide a valid access token in the Authorization header. The access token should have the Chat.ReadWrite.All permissions. To obtain the access token, you can use the Azure AD OAuth 2.0 endpoint. For more information, see Microsoft Graph - Get access on behalf of a user.

If the request is successful, the response has a status code of “204 No Content” and an empty body. If the request fails, the response has an error code and a message that explains the reason for the failure.

There are many ways to call a Microsoft Graph API – if you're unfamiliar with the process, start with an interactive tool such as Graph Explorer. Some admins create an app or use PowerShell to interact with Graph APIs.

Sample Code

The following PowerShell code can be used as a starting point. This code shows how to acquire the User token, create a client App that has the necessary permissions, and how to use that client App to call the Graph API to remove the message.
