Set Users Status on their behalf

It would be nice to be able to set a users status remotely to DND if they are away from their desk or out of office.

    This would be really helpful as we only use the desktop app and there is no availability to amend the users' status. This creates a problem for us as the call queue group does not acknowledge that a user is offline so still tries to call them unless they manually turn on DND. Seems to be a floor in the system...., :-(

    I have two users that use the DnD on their phones. Then they take DnD off... The app still holds on to DnD on. So, they have to go online to change it. If from the admin page I could do this it would make it much easier since my users never remember their logins.

    I've been playing cell phone/email tag for 3 days with a user, who I sent the guide to but am unable to do on their behalf.

    Pretty silly I cannot log into the admin portal and confirm whether DnD is on. Although I've checked everything else and it's the only logical answer to why user is going straight to voicemail.

    How is this not a feature for admins. Simply crazy that its not. Since moving to RC I've run into several issues now that my other provider offered years ago. Geez

    Scenario: Primary user left for vacation and turned on DND via the APP. Secondary User comes in to cover for Primary User and cover phone calls only. Calls were not being received. ADMIN needs the ability to manage status on behalf of users via service.ringcentral.com

    I just took over an RC environment and can't really believe this is not a thing. How's the 2 1/2 year review coming?

    Use case is user has set DND on physical phone or on app and admins don't have a way to make the status not be set to DND. We had a user set DND on their physical phone and we had no way to turn it off until the user returned home from vacation and wanted to get calls on the app while OoO.

    We do not permit our users to manage their own extensions, since they are "positions" and not tied to a single person. Our branch sites are required to have DND disabled for almost all users, but in the event someone figures out a way to set themselves to DND (or anything besides available) we need a way to quickly resolve this without having to log in as the user.

    This happens in our org all the time. A user forgets to change their status and is gone, and our inbound call team spends their and our clients' time trying to reach that user multiple times before realizing they are not there.

    It would be ideal in our use case if this was a permission in the MVP app where permitted users could adjust other team members' DND/Available status with a right click context menu. Logging in to the back end is cumbersome.

    There was some hiccups with "unmerging" this idea from the call queue status idea, the status carried over as well. It has now been updated to the correct Under review status.

    If this is Implemented, then how can we as Admins change users presence and
    status, outside of Call Queues? This Idea is separate from the Call Queue
    one....

    YES! We have people go out of office and they don't update their presence to reflect this. We also have people forget to set themselves to DND and are away from their PC (out of state). We need the ability to set this as Admins.

    Have you seen our Presence API? This has the ability to set a person's status to DND. Here is an example request pulled from our API Reference (link below):

    PATCH /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/9234829/unified-presence

    {
    "glip": {
    "visibility": "Visible",
    "availability": "DND"

    }
    }

If there is an admin of a group and one of the users walks away and forgets to put DND there should be a way for the admin of the group or any admin to go in and set them to DND. The way our system is set up it will deem them the most inactive and...
