owner is unable to invite guests
Hi Markus, It looks like invitiations are disabled for your tenant. To check invitations; go to O365 Admin Portal -> Settings(in left nav) -> Security & Privacy; Under sharing you would see "Allow adding of new guests to my organization" make sure that it is tuned ON.

Let me know if this doesnt work.
Thanks,

Just a headsup for people coming by this thread later. Microsoft moved the settings over the weekend it seems. You can now find it under Settings -> Services & add-ins -> Office 365 Groups and it is called "Let group owners add people outside the organization to groups".
Markus, This setting has not been moved. This is different setting. Essentially there are 3 settings to control guest access; the setting you are talking about intends different purpose
In a nutshell.
1. Settings->Security & privacy->Allow : Blocks adding of "new" guests, that means guests which are already in the tenants can be added.
2. Settings -> Services & add-ins -> Office 365 Groups->"Let group owners add": Blocks adding of "any" guests.
3. Settings -> Services & add-ins -> Office 365 Groups->"Let people outside access": Disables guest access completely which means guests members of the groups will be cut-off from resource access and wont receive Group posts.
well, what can I say besides "RTFM helps", so thank you! :-)
Tells me again also that testing with admin privs isnt the brightest idea, but then as O365 always needs a license there isnt really room for test accounts.
Anyway thanks!
hopefully I am posting this not premature as the admin center here already tries for over 5min to change that setting, still giving me the rotating dots...
