New External Sharing Experience - when is a Guest account created?
hi there,
we are testing the sharing configuration in OdFB and SPO.
We configured "Users can invite new an existing guests".
In ODfB i first share a file with user abc@outlook.com. He gets the invitation and then the access code.
No Guest account is created.
Then i share another document with user abc@fabricam.com which is an external O365 User. This user also gets the invitation, and then the access code.
Now a Guest account is created for this user.
What is the exact algorithm behind this. are Guest users only created for O365 (School and Work Accounts)? Can I prevent that Guest Users are created at all for users invited by standard users?
thanks,
Franck
