    Hi Todd,

     

    To my understanding "Generic Authorization error" means you don`t have the permission to invite.

    I believe you are the Global Admin.

     

    change the User settings option in the Azure AD Portal.

     

    https://portal.azure.com/#User settings=>External collaboration settings

     

    Admins and users in Guest user role can invite.

     

    toggle this to yes.

    Mark like if it helps you. :)
