External Sharing and Guests
So when looking at Groups this is controlled by the settings:
Office 365 Admin portal-> Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Sharing -> On/Off toggle
This gives you an on / off switch , for more details on this see this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/adding-guests-to-office-365-groups-bfc7a840-868f-4fd6-a390-f347bf51aff6.
You can also control this via the Azure Active Directory portal in a bit more of a granular way.
Azure Active Directory -> Users -> User Settings -> Manage External collaboration settings.
This gives you a bit more control, for all the details on this blade check out - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/b2b/delegate-invitations
There are also service specific settings on top of guest settings for external sharing:
So make sure you check OneDrive, Teams, PowerBI, Flow, Sway and Yammer admin portals.
