To prevent all users except managers from sending messages marked as Urgent, you need to configure a new Messaging policy and apply it to the managers. Here's a detailed explanation:
What is a Messaging policy? A messaging policy is a collection of settings in Microsoft Teams that control which chat and channel messaging features are available to users. You can use messaging policies to control who can communicate with whom, as well as to restrict certain types of messaging, such as the ability to send GIFs or use custom memes.
How to create a new Messaging policy? To create a new messaging policy in Microsoft Teams, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to the Microsoft Teams admin center with your admin credentials.
- Go to the Messaging policies tab in the left navigation pane.
- Click Add to create a new policy.
- Give the policy a name and description.
- Configure the settings you want to apply to the policy, such as enabling or disabling certain types of messaging.
- Save the policy.
- How to apply the new Messaging policy to the managers? To apply the new messaging policy to the managers, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the Users tab in the left navigation pane of the Microsoft Teams admin center.
- Select the managers you want to apply the policy to.
- Click Edit next to the Messaging policies setting.
- Select the new policy you created from the drop-down list.
- Save the changes.
Why not modify the default Messaging policy? It's not recommended to modify the default Messaging policy because it affects all users in the organization. If you modify the default Messaging policy to prevent all users except managers from sending Urgent messages, it would apply to everyone, not just the managers.
Why not configure a new Permission policy? Permission policies control who can perform certain actions in Teams, such as creating channels or deleting messages. They don't control messaging features such as Urgent messages. Therefore, configuring a new Permission policy won't help you achieve your goal of preventing all users except managers from sending Urgent messages.
