SharePoint Online - External Sharing, licensing
Hi all I have a few questions regarding external sharing in SharePoint. Very simply my scenario is an organisation I am working with wants to share content with a lot of external users. They want...
- My 2 cents:
1) If they are external users, they don't need a SPO license and they can take full advantage of SPO features
2) Azure B2B
3) Not necessarily
I was able to add an external user as site collection admin. There was no problem at all. This kind of contradicts the microsoft documentation. Any ideas?
Actually that does not contradict the documentation at all. The role of site collection ADMIN is open to external users as well as full control but the OWNER role is not. When you create a new site collection attempt to add an external user at that point and you will see the difference.
- Thanks for the clarification. I clearly got confused there !
No worries. The roles can be confusing sometimes. Have a pleasant day.
