how can a guest user who has been assigned to the compliance admin role, get access to the Purview portal? we can access the M365 Defender portal by putting the tenant ID in the url, but this does not work for Compliance/Purview

Hi Dean, What happens when the guest user goes to this URL: https://compliance.microsoft.com/ and the guest logs-in? Do they get an error message?

No, they get redirected to their home tenant

Dean_Gross Just to clarify, you've tried https://security.microsoft.com/?tid=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx and it's not working?

RyanSteele-CoV that’s correct

Dean_Gross RyanSteele-CoV I see the same issue, any other thoughts by chance?

Hi Dean,
I just went to https://purview.microsoft.com, login with my tenant account, and then replace tid=XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX with the tenant ID where I'm a guest user (with admin role) and it worked (I previously logged in to Azure Portal and changed directory to the guest tenant, so I have an open session in the browser)
