New Feature: Guest Management through admin portals
We are happy to announce the world wide roll-out of Guest management features in Office admin portals.
With guest access we have democratized the way people collaborate with external users and sinc...
And in addition to that, we are very much looking forward to the feature where Group admins can only add external users that already exist in Azure AD and not invite random external users.
It seems the Office 365 admins now have that capability.
Any plans to extend that to Group admins, Sahil Arora?

You already this feature where group owners can only add existing guests in the directory, all you have to do is this:
Turn off the following switch under Admin Center > Home > Security & Privacy > Sharing:
"Let users add new guests to the organization"
Turn on the following switches under Admin Center > Home > Services & add-ins > Office 365 Groups:
"Let group members outside the organization access group content"
"Let group owners add people outside the organization to groups"
We have those settings already as you describe. However when we try to add externals that already exist we get the error message 'There was a problem adding one or more people to the group. For help, contact your administrator'.
I guess we need to raise a ticket?
