Followed all steps, but nothing.

i'm the admin and thw owner of a test group , but when I try to adda a Gmail address OWA respond with a red pop up (center page) that say that only people in the organization can be added.

Help !!

Thanks Stefano for reaching out! Can you check the portal settings whether the guest access is enabled for your organization & group? Steps to check that is in Admin documentation.

If settings are ON both at org & at group level. Can you please send me your tenant name through Private Message?

  Good morning Sahil,
  thanks for quick reply, appreciated !
  Well both settings seems to be ok at admin level:
  
  app > office 365 groups
  
  security and privacy > sharing
  
  Also at sharepoint global settings everything seems ok (screenshot in ITA language):
  
  i'm sending now a PM with our domain tenant.
  TKS !

    Hi Stefano Conti, hi Sahil Arora,
    we have the same problem of Stefano, we are not able to invite externals to our groups even if all the required settings seems to be ok.
    
    How did you solve the problem? What is missing?
    
    Thanks in advance.
    Serena
