How to hide a user in Teams that currently has an E5 licence

Answer 1

Hi @Paul Siopiolosz

If you want to hide users, you can use information barriers in Microsoft Teams to prevent individuals or groups from communicating with each other.

For Microsoft Teams, information barriers can determine and prevent the following kinds of unauthorized collaborations:

• Adding a user to a team or channel
• User access to team or channel content
• User access to 1:1 and group chats
• User access to meetings
• Prevents lookups and discovery, users won't be visible in the people picker.

For information on how to enable information barriers, see: Information barriers in Microsoft Teams
