Introducing guest access for Office 365 Groups!

Yes it will take some time as we are rolling out the feature, in the mean time if you would like to access this settings you could do that via Azure Portal (http://manage.windowsazure.com) under Configure>User Access section - "Allow New Invitations".

IN AD CONFIGURE USER ACCESS, should Limit guest access be ON or OFF - seems it should be OFF?
- TonyRedmondSep 09, 2016MVP
Limiting user access to the directory should be ON. If OFF, you allow guest users full access to your directory (same level as tenant users), which you don't want...

Must be something else needed; tried weith all three as yes and also with LIMIT GUEST ACCESS as NO.
- Sep 08, 2016Great news to see this shipping, can't wait to see it.
Reading the documentation I think it's pretty confusing in the admin help at https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Guest-access-to-Office-365-groups-Admin-Help-7c713d74-a144-4eab-92e7-d50df526ff96?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB
The titles for the two section mean the same thing don't they ?
Use PowerShell to control guest access to all Office 365 groups in your organization
Use PowerShell to control adding guest users to all Office 365 groups in your organization
Isn't the second section about setting up groups so you could grant guest user access on a per group basis, rather than whole tenant. It's pretty confusing.

That doesn't work either. All 3 flip switches are enabled and still get the error message that you can only add people inside your organization.

David, we are still in the process of rolling out this feature, so it might take hours/days before you can see this feature light up in your tenant.
