Generating an Administrator Token
The administrator functions built into Yammer work well, but what if you want to perform an administrator function outside of what's built for you? If you ask around, you may find someone advising you to take advantage of the REST API, but if you don't know where to start, then you've come to the right place. Because you can't fully use the REST API and you can't run any of the scripts posted in this community if you don't have a token. This token is like your username and password, and is what allows you to tell Yammer that the script you're running is you. Getting one of these things used to be relatively complicated, but is much simpler now. Step 1: Log into Yammer normally, then click this - https://www.yammer.com/client_applications Step 2: Click the big green box, Register a New App Step 3: Fill in the form. The name can be whatever you want, and the organization and email should match what is approprate for your organization. I always use Yammer as the redirect URI. Step 4: Now you're on the information screen and can go get your token. On the bottom of the screen is a link called "Generate a developer token for this application". Click that. Like magic, your very own scripting token will now appear. Copy and paste that into something safe and secure. Remember, this is your username and password all rolled up into one, and if someone gets that, they can perform the same functions on your network as you can. Guard it carefully. And then use it for the scripts you'll find elsewhere in this community. Enjoy!
Uploads not working
Hi there, I'm trialling Viva Engage for use running group education. I'd create a community for each of our groups. But when trying to upload a simple Word doc to a post, it says "Sorry, something went wrong when trying to upload Filename.docx. Please try again." I've tried using various methods (admin account, dummy participant account) and different files (in case the file was corrupt) and they still won't upload. Is this a bug or is there some other reason? ThanksViva Engage access issue
Hi. Some of users in my organization have problem with logging into Viva Engage. After openning Viva Eng. site they gey communiacte: "You don't have access to Viva Engage. You don't have license to access Viva Engage.". The Viva Engage license is on (in the Office 365 E1), and day before issue, Viva was working properly. We tried to log out form MS365 services, clear browsers cache and the problem still exists. Anyone knows what to do?Manage Yammer users across their life cycle from Office 365
After Yammer is activated on your Office 365 tenant, you, as the Office 365 administrator, can control the life cycle for Yammer users from Office 365. When you create users in Office 365, they can log on to Yammer with their Office 365 credentials. When a user is deleted from Office 365, they are automatically deactivated or suspended in Yammer. When a user is restored in Office 365, they are reactivated in Yammer. Also, the user's profile properties (such as name and department) from Azure Active Directory will be automatically populated in the user's Yammer profile, and any changes to the profile properties in Azure Active Directory will be reflected in Yammer as well.

How to edit a link on a post
Hi everyone! I needed to edit a Viva Engage post with a link. I thought it was successful, because the text link was updated. However, the embedded link (the one that's in a rectangular box showing the link title and some text + image on the left side) is still showing the old link. How do I edit this embedded link, too? Or even just delete it completely.
