Group together Guest Accounts based on Dynamic Groups
Yes, it's possible via the Dynamic Azure AD Groups functionality: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-groups-dynamic-membership-azure-portal
The membership rule you need is: (user.userType -eq "Guest")

- Hi Vasil,
Thanks for the tip. We tried it out and it worked. However, anyone who might try this should be aware that each of the guest users dynamically added to the group will get a welcome email that includes the name of each group member.
BrianHi Brian,
how would it be the case that guest users in the Dynamic group would get a welcome email? In order to be dynamically added to the group the guest user would already have been invited into the tenant in order for them to have been created in Azure AD, only after being created could they be added to the dynamic group.
I've created a number of dynamic security groups for external users based on their UPN domain, however, adding them to SharePoint site security groups does not appear to work, the external users don't get access to the site.

Hi Terry,
By default, as each new member is dynamically added to the group, they all receive a welcome email - in this case a bunch of them at once because they were existing tenant members.
And for us, assigning permissions for the dynamic group to something in SharePoint worked.

VasilMichevhow does the licensing for this scenario work? I thought that dynamic group members needed to have AAD P1, is there an exemption for guests?
Hi Dean,
Its actually always the Tenant which invites the Guests requiring the correct count of Licenses regarding Azure MFA. Its a 1:5 Ratio.
You need 1 User which has a AD Premium or Azure MFA License and with that you can have 5 Guest Users which are required to use MFA while accessing one of your Resources /SaaS Apps.
They do not have to be related to that specific User.
I hope this helps to clarify

Shhhhh, let it slide :) I'm not sure to be honest, I know that they are not enforcing the licensing requirement in code, but whether Guest users need to be licensed...
Great Vasil that is exactly what i need.
Cheers
