Guest user access to Group conversations

Since a guest user cannot access Office 365 Group conversations, i thought I'd give it a shot and try to access the data through the Office 365 Groups API https://dev.office.com/blogs/GroupsRESTAPI ...

Office 365 Groups

Guest members of Office 365 Groups cannot directly access Group conversations because they cannot access EOL resources without a license.

Nevertheless, they can participate in conversations by email, meaning that they should receive an email for every post and they can post by email.

If this does not happen, see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Guest-doesn-t-receive-group-email-conversations-b9891873-c33c-415a-8751-66a64d17f06c?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

Hi there,

I am the engineer manager responsible for Guest Access in O365 Groups. We are working with several partner teams on enabling guest access to O365 Group conversations via REST APIs (Microsoft Graph). We hope to bring it online first quarter 2018.

We are also planning guest access via Outlook clients (mobile, web, etc.) but we still on early stages and don't have timeline to share.

Thanks,

Ladislau.

What about guest access to Group calendars? Can that be done?
