SharePoint Online based Extranet as an App in the App Launcher for Partner organisations?
Hi Paul,
no, I think you've missunderstood the question.
We are a Microsoft Customer, we have an O365 E3 subscription and we're using SharePoint Online to provide services to our partners and clients.
So far we've just been using the invite system and their emails, but I've started looking at the B2B solution which is in preview.
However, my question was around adding our SharePoint Online instance/site as an App to our partner/client's App Launcher (aka the waffle) - similar to how they might add SalesForce or other applications that have been integrated with O365.
We don't want them to have to go through lots of manual steps, just them to be able to search/add or tick-the-box, the same way they can add SalesForce, etc.
Make sense?
Thanks
Craig
Microsoft- Thanks Stewart,
so all manual steps, that we first have to persuade the O365 admin for our Client to complete, then more manual steps that we have to persuade the end-users to complete...
At least the MSDN article I referenced, has a way for Apps to add themselves to the App Launcher, I'm just not sure how to get SPOnline to do this.- BrjannBrekkan
From the Azure AD side your partner admin would need to add your extranet site as an application and make that app available for self service so user can add it to their app panel. Like the scenario you are describing , enable to partner end user to easily add your site into the launcher. I will give our B2B team the feedback.
Self Service app mangement docs for you info: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/active-directory/active-directory-self-service-application-access

- Thanks Brjann.
Self service seems to require Azure AD Premium. I know we've got Enterprise Mobility Suite, which I believe includes AAD Premium, but I can't be sure about our Partners...
Feeding back to the B2B team sounds great. If was simply a case of:
1. We invite Partner users via B2B
2. The accept the invitation
3. Either the first time they go to our site (last step of the invitation) they are prompted to add it to their App Launcher, or it's a tickbox included in the invitation process.
Thanks
Craig
