Cannot withdraw external invitation in O365 group - Access requests and invitations not available

Hello,

 

In a O365 group the link to the 'Access requests and invitations' screen is not available anymore on the site settings. Therfore it is not possible for me to withdraw an invitation to an external user that I've sent.

 

Is there a reason why this page is not available anymore? And is there a workaround to withdraw an invitation?

 

Thanks for the help!

    When you create an invitation to a group (or team), Office 365 generates a guest user object in Azure AD. To withdraw the invitation, simply delete the Azure AD object with Remove-AzureADObject or through the Azure AD portal.

      Hello Tony,

       

      Thanks for the reply. I've been doing some testing and have following feedback/questions:

      - After I've sent an invitation the Azure AD object is not created. It is only when the guest user accepts the invitation I see the user in my portal.

      - I image that this situation only works of the user is invited on 1 SharePoint site? If he is already working on site A and you want to withdraw an invitation for site B, deleting the AD object will have an impact on both sites?
