owner is unable to invite guests
- Feb 23, 2017
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,
Sahil

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, if it has not moved, than one of your admins is pulling my leg and/or trying some new illusion/stealth technology on my tenant, because it has vanished, as you can see in this screenshot.

This is strange behaviour; there should be a third setting visible here & there wasnt any change in this feature as well.
To help in troubleshoot this issue, can you PM me the tenant name & admin user name?
