Guest access is released 100% WW in service
As announced on 09/08 https://blogs.office.com/2016/09/08/introducing-guest-access-for-office-365-groups/ is now 100% WW. Guest access let users collaborate with external users outside their organiza...
1. It's really annoying that I as a group owner only can add a guest user with the group android app if I write the complete guest e-mail without searching directory and there is no way to do it in O365 portal with OWA.
2. Then the guest already has a personal Microsoft Account but it was asked to create a new one (Work or School account)!
3. And why guest cannot has access to group calendar? It was in the roadmap item that include the access to group calendar. The guest only receive a notification when a event was added to group calendar but he doesn't has any action avaiable or event details like the date in the notification email.

Thanks Pedro for reaching out!
1. Adding a new guest user through new O365 Admin portal is in our backlog. However we will be soon rolling out the feature to add existing guest users in directory to O365 groups via O365 portal.
2. I'm not sure I got your scenario, can you elaborate on this one? If the invited guest's email address already exists in the tenant directory(as guest user), then wouldn't need to sign-up for that.
3. Accessing group calendar is in the road-map, however the guest email notification should contain the relevant information. Can you tell me over Private message, what is the domain & client app your guest is using for their account?
- Hello Sahil Arora,
Today we continue not to have Guest Access avaiable in our tenant.
All admin center options related with Guest Access are turned ON.
We don't see any Guest tab in members of the groups (navigating the groups in Outlook on Web).
This is an important feature and well expected by O365 customers and from his business partners. When you announces the rolling out was completed our partners that are waiting for this feature start to asking why don't we make this avaiable today!
Please could you clarify why the rolling out fase is complete and this feature is not avaiable to all?
The O365 support reply to a ticket request saying that in roadmap it's still in rolling out... (and it's true... but this is not the expected answer!)
Thank you for your support.
