Question

You need to prevent users from deleting messages posted in private chats and channels. To complete this task, sign in to the Microsoft 365 portal.

Explanation

This question tests the ability to configure Microsoft Teams Messaging Policies to restrict users from deleting their own sent messages in both private chats and channel conversations.

Approach. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin portal (admin.microsoft.com), then navigate to the Microsoft Teams Admin Center. Go to 'Messaging policies' under the Teams section, then edit the Global (Org-wide default) policy (or create and assign a new custom policy). Within the policy settings, locate the 'Delete sent messages' toggle and set it to 'Off', then save the changes. This policy applies to both private chats and channel posts, preventing users from deleting their own messages while still allowing admins to manage content.

Concept tested. Microsoft Teams Messaging Policies - specifically the 'Delete sent messages' control within the Teams Admin Center, which is part of the broader Microsoft 365 compliance and governance toolset for controlling user communication behavior.
