Teams - Apply a Specific Policy to a User Tutorial

Apply a specific policy to a user in the Microsoft Teams admin center by signing in with a teams admin role, locating the user, and editing their events policy. The video covers recognizing assignment options, prioritizing directly assigned policies, and creating a reversible individual assignment. It shows selecting a user, choosing event policy, keeping other categories unchanged, and performing four checks before applying, including a confirmation that the change may take time to take effect.

expand users

00:00:07

and then select manage users

00:00:10

in the search field enter the display name

00:00:13

or user name of the data subject

00:00:16

carefully check the account obtained to avoid misattribution.

00:00:20

Check only the row for the relevant user

00:00:23

and then select edit settings.

00:00:26

Each list first displays

00:00:29

keep existing policy.

00:00:31

This is not the name of the strategy applied.

00:00:34

This option means that the category will not be changed when you select apply,

00:00:39

scroll down to events policy.

00:00:42

Don't confuse it with live events policy displayed just below.

00:00:47

In our scenario,

00:00:48

only the first category needs to be changed.

00:00:51

Open the list.

00:00:52

The global policy is the default

00:00:55

tutorial internal event illustrates here the

00:00:58

personalized strategy that meets the identified needs

00:01:02

selected,

00:01:03

verify that all other categories still say

00:01:07

keep existing policy

00:01:09

this way you avoid unintentionally replacing another useful strategy.

00:01:14

Before applying the assignment,

00:01:16

perform 4 checks.

00:01:18

Is the right user selected?

00:01:21

Does its need justify an individual exception

00:01:24

rather than a group assignment?

00:01:26

Did you choose event strategy and not live event strategy?

00:01:30

Are all other categories kept unchanged?

00:01:34

When these controls are validated,

00:01:36

select apply.

00:01:37

Teams displays a warning

00:01:39

assigning policies to the selected users might take some time to take effect,

00:01:44

and changes can't be rolled back immediately.

00:01:47

Select confirm to start the operation.

00:01:50

The team's policy changes can take up to 24 hours to take effect.

00:01:55

If this exception is no longer needed,

00:01:58

go through the same path,

00:02:00

select global,

00:02:01

and then select apply and confirm.

00:02:04

This return can also take up to 24 hours.

00:02:08

Keeping the existing policy would instead leave the custom assignment unchanged.
