Microsoft Teams: Block a user for your organization [MC888879]

The availability of the delete API (removeallaccessforuser API) does not stop a malicious user from resending a Microsoft Teams message to the same victim.

To make this possible, we will use a similar feature as the allow/block list in federation identity credentials to block the malicious user from the entire organization.
