New invite UI does not support inviting guests (bug?)

A new UI appereared to invite group members from within the group site, but it doesn't support inviting guests allthough it is enabled (on our tenant).

 

The UI in Outlook online does support this feature, this is very confusing for our users.

    Bart I'm having the same issue. I thought it was just me doing something wrong despite having done it successfully before.

      According to the support agent, this is no bug. It depends of course on your definition of bug.

       

      I understand from a technical point of view, but it is confusing for users since the widgets are very similar and they both refers to the group members.

       

      So I do believe there is a mismatch between the UI and the functionality.

    • I think the way the process of adding external users to a Group is designed is just by doing through the members area in the Group so that could be the reason why it's not going to work if you try to add a guest directly from the Group site
