Email from one O365 domain controlled by Ajax.com and using Sharepoint & One Drive on mydomain.com
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not think I can make my post shorter. I have a user that is provided an email account (JohnSmith@Ajax.xom)that is hosted on Office 365 and the user does not have admin rights to anything. The user will be forced to use MFA on this email account. One Drive and SharePoint is disabled on the Office 365 account associated with JohnSmith@Ajax.xom. The user is going to create an individual Office 365 account with a tenant mydomain.com. The user will assign himself an email account of johnsmith@mydomain.com and use OnDrive and SharePoint under mydomain.com with MFA. How will all this work on the same PC with Outlook and the same smart phone?DanielNiccoli
TJmustangTJ If you do not connect the computer to Azure AD, then you can just sign in to each app with the required account. If you access web services, you need a different browser or browser profile for each tenant.
However, there is no cross-service access (Outlook/ajax.com accessing files on OneDrive/mydomain.com). Office 365 is not really meant to be used by a single person with multiple tenants. If you need that, then you're having a management problem rather than a technical problem and the user should have all services accessible under one tenant.
Thanks for the response. I agree with the statement "Office 365 is not really meant to be used by a single person with multiple tenants." One major problem I foresee is John Smith is a financial adviser under Ajax and must use JohnSmith@Ajax.xom when communicating with clients because of SEC rules. What will happen when John Smith is composing an email in OWA using the JohnSmith@Ajax.xom account and he needs to attach a large file. OWA will offer to upload the file to One Drive and send a link. Ajax has One Drive associated with JohnSmith@Ajax.xom disabled and instructed John Smith to create One Drive tied to johnsmith@mydomain.com. I do not think John Smith will ever be able to seamlessly use One Drive from johnsmith@mydomain.com with OWA email under JohnSmith@Ajax.xom. I have had lengthy discussions with Ajax expressing my concerns and that they are attempting to use Office 365 in a way it was never designed to be used.DanielNiccoli
