Hi Jp,
Method 1:
You can use the Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync 2013
<section class="ocpSection">
Enable Privacy Mode
By default, everyone except Blocked Contacts can see your presence status. To modify the privacy settings, you can do the following:
In the Lync main window, click the Options button.
In the Lync - Options dialog box, click Status, and then do one of the following:
Click I want everyone to be able to see my presence regardless of system settings (override default settings).
Click I want the system administrator to decide - currently everyone can see my presence but this could change in the future.
