How to provide users from another Entra ID tenant access to a SPO site

We need to give users from another Entra tenant access to a Sharepoint online site.
Is it possible to have these users in a Entra ID security group and give access to these users without setting up their guest accounts in our tenant?

    To restrict access to SharePoint Online to authenticated users only (which is recommended), you should invite external users as guest accounts in your tenant. Additionally, ensure that the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/sharepoint-azureb2b-integration is enabled if it hasn't been done yet. This ensures that external users are subject to Microsoft Entra ID access policies, such as multi-factor authentication. If you need to invite multiple users to your tenant, the partner tenant can configure cross-tenant access settings to automatically redeem invitations from your tenant. This way, external users won't have to accept the consent prompt > https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/external-id/cross-tenant-access-settings-b2b-collaboration#modify-outbound-access-settings

     

    Does that solution work for you?
