"setPresence" graph API- expirationDuration time out value no effect, always considering default expiration of 5 minutes.

Question

I have to post it again as I did not get any answers on me prev post.

I Am unable to create a presence session for the user for customized expirationDuration parameter. I have tried to set its value as 'PT1H', 'PT4H', 'PT50M', but nothing is working, it seems like MS Graph always considering a default value for expirationDuration and app behaving as follows:

"Main application sets the presence session as Available/Available, the state would change to Available/AvailableInactive in 5 minutes with the first timeout, then Away/Away in another 5 minutes with the second timeout.". Creating session as follows:

const setPresence = { sessionId: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx, // registered azure app id availability: 'Available', activity: 'Available', expirationDuration: 'PT1H', }; const res = await CommonGraphClient.myInstance.api(/users/${userId}/presence/setPresence).post(setPresence);

Once session is created, we are calling setUserPreferredPresence to set the status of the user. User can select their desired status from a drop down from the main UI as

'Available','Busy','DoNotDisturb','BeRightBack','Away', 'OffWork',

const presence= {

sessionId: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx, // registered azure app id,

availability: userPresence, // presence status selected from UI

activity: xxxx,//'Available','Busy','DoNotDisturb','BeRightBack','Away', 'OffWork'

, expirationDuration: 'PT1H', };

const res = await CommonGraphClient.myInstance.api(/users/${userId}/presence/setUserPreferredPresence).post(presence);

But once the session expires, User status is set to 'Away" and now it cannot be changed to any other status by user from Combo.

Answer 1

@Shashikant Sharma - This is by design behavior. If the session expires, the user's status will revert to Away, and they won't be able to change it until a new session is created.
