SharePoint Online based Extranet as an App in the App Launcher for Partner organisations?

Hey People, not sure if this is strictly an O365 question or an SPOnline question... but here goes... We've long provided a SharePoint (on-prem) based Extranet for our partners and clients. ...

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.

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
