Typically, Yammer lets you create posts like polls and questions. With the upcoming impersonation update, authorized users will be able to post such items on behalf of others.
User impersonation in Yammer
The folks at TheWindowsClub recently discovered a developer document describing the code for the upcoming impersonation feature in Yammer. It appears that the application will soon enable users with certain system privileges to get valid access tokens on behalf of fellow app users. By the look of things, though, only verified Yammer administrators will get the rights to impersonate other app users within their network. Besides, the feature will be available to only premium account users. Impersonation may probably come in handy when certain users are unavailable to add their voice to ongoing mission-critical conversations. And according to a recent Office 365 Roadmap entry that Windows Report saw, the update rolls out over Q4 2020. We also spotted evidence of other Yammer features in the works, including a calendar invites update. The feature makes it easier to invite community members to a live event within the app’s event page. According to yet another Roadmap entry, community admins are soon getting extra system privileges: As Yammer’s integration with Office 365 expands, the application now lets you post directly within SharePoint Online. Likewise, the app integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams. Are you excited about the upcoming impersonation feature in Yammer? You may write your feedback in the comments section below.
