Local user - Set Status
We can make use of the mePerson object exposed by personsAndGroupsManager and from this object get access to the status property. This property is a writeable allowing changes via a set(...) method that takes a provided string matching a status such as Online, Away, Busy.
Select a status and click to change presence
var mePerson = application.personsAndGroupsManager.mePerson;
mePerson.status.set(status).then(function () {
// status changed succesfully
}, function (error) {
// handle rrror
});
