REST API to manage users on Skype For Business

Question

We're using MS Graph API to manage users for Office 365. I just wanted to know if this API is good enough to manage users for "Skype for Business" product as well.

Also, when we query for Subscribed SKUs, we do get a list of servicePlanNames one of which is MCOSTANDARD. Can you please confirm if this plan indicates "Skype for Business"? Thank you!

Answer 1

Azure Active Directory user accounts can be used to sign into Skype for Business. I believe Skype for Business also supports Microsoft Accounts (MSAs) which is not currently supported for management through our V1 endpoint.

Therefore, if the accounts you are trying to manage are AAD accounts, then yes MS Graph is a good way to manage them.

I can also confirm for you that MCOSTANDARD does represent Skype for Business.

MCO = Microsoft Communication Online which was the name for Skype for Business way before it was even called Lync!

Let me know if this helps!
