B2B with clients

We are investigating how to take B2B into use with our clients. Many of our clients are smaller companies who don't have AAD in use or even IT-know-how what it is. Now if we invite some client users ...

Azure AD B2B

Hi,

In current release of Azure AD B2B, concept of "unmanaged tenant" you saw previously, doesn't exist anymore.

See e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-user-properties

Instead of "unmanaged tenant" they use wording "viral" and "Just-in-time" - but the concept has not changed. If the user's org does not have AAD, Microsoft will spin-up AAD for them and will leave it unmanaged until the org takes it over.

You're correct.

I tested this again, and when user has no Microsoft account or Azure AD account, clicking "getting started" on invite e-mail redirects you to "sign up with Microsoft" page, and let's you create a new account. I assumed it meant "Microsoft account", but no it doesnt. Microsoft should be more clear about this. Also on documentation side, as they was when they initially released Azure AD B2B preview maybe two years ago. Now when you look under "integrate parners using Azure AD B2B" topic on MS documentation, you don't find much information about this scenario if none.

Sorry I can't answer your original question. I'm also interested to hear how this is communicated to clients.
