Hide a user from Microsoft Teams
It would be very beneficial to be able to hide a user from showing as a Microsoft Teams user. Right now it is super confusing for users when old staff members whose mailboxes are still being used show in Microsoft Teams. There is currently no option to hide these users from showing as contacts in chats.

This is a much needed feature! Would also be helpful to hide unlicensed "shared mailboxes" from showing up in teams as we cannot check the messages that are sent to that account

If we could "blind copy" them, so the guest or user can see and observe only. That would be very helpful.

Microsoft Teams.
Could hide or delete account that is not in AD domain.
Therefore, view only one user instead of two. -

YES. MSFT please fix this. Often times we need to have e-mail accounts for legal hold or administrative purposes but these are not real people that would engage in team conversations. So the ability to hide such e0mail accounts like we do from the GAL is extremely important. please prioritize a fix.

I just had a request from staff to remove a previous employee from the org chart showing up in Teams, I could just remove the org info for the AD user but I would rather leave the user's AD account untouched and there for future reference. I was able to remove him from GAL but not finding a way to keep them hidden from Teams or the org chart that shows up in Teams.

Just encountered this issue with our company moving to teams. A non-licenced and blocked user should not display in the teams contact list. Using the GAL would be perfect!

Same here, I would very much like to hide our staff in Microsoft Teams. It completely messes with our hierarchy and departments. A propper right's management would be amazing, where groups (teams) would receive certain permissions to see each other and/or seeing people from other teams.

I would really like to hide On-Premise Directory Synchronization Service Account from Organization-wide team. We don't have yet any disabled accounts but I can see the issue in near future.
It also seems that I can't use Exchange Access List filtering as we don't use Exchange and there are no mailboxes to filter...

Not only do disabled users show in searches for chats but they also still show in the organization chart. We have many accounts on legal hold that we need to keep for legal purposes but do not want them showing in the org charts.

WE! would like this because we have admin and service accounts that shouldn't be recipients of Teams messages

This is definitely needed for Call Queues and Auto Attendants at minimum!

This would be helpful, just implemented Teams and I can see my entire directory including local admins and the Azure AD Sync user.....
I also have approx 120 users that won't use Teams so I would hide these users as well....
There just needs to be an option available to hide users.... blocked users don't appear on the list so we know you can stop users from showing in the directory.
