Groups Guest access and SharePoint access
Looking to confirm my understanding. If you add a guest to an O365 from OWA, they will only have access to the associated SharePoint site if external sharing for that site has been turned on (or if ...
My understanding is that is enough with enabling external guest at the tenant level so you don't need to run any PowerShell to configure Group sites
Hi Juan.
External sharing must be enabled at the tenant level AND at the Group site collection level (which BTW is the default) in order to allow access to guest members.
Thanks. We have external sharing disabled at the tenant level, are only enabling for specific sites. I added my personal external email to a Group I created, was able to conversate okay but got an access denied when trying to access the site. Sounds like then that would be expected? Until I turned on external sharing at the site collection level?
AFAIK if you have external sharing disabled at the tenant level, guests will be unable to access Groups sites, whatever the Group site collection setting is.
