Additional document library shielded from guests?
Deleted It will be a 2 step approach.. As you said, there is no way to split these out in Teams. Therefore you will need a separate location where you can add the "Everyone except external people" or just the required people.
I understand you are looking for a 1 step way... but that isn't in there right now. The goal of a group is to "connect people with resources", therefore it defeats the purpose of easily doing that. But I encourage you to take it up to UserVoice and send it in as an idea.
Deleted What I do for a number of customers is create a SharePoint security group in the SharePoint itself called "externals" or "Visitors". This security group has all the external guests in. In SharePoint, they would get read access to the site, and no access to specific document libraries.
So in short, the logic still applies, you just need to add that extra "visitors" group yourself.
You can create that from the "advanced permission settings".
marijnsomers, thanks and I think I understand what you're saying. However, a visitors already exists on each modern team site with the permission level "Read", doesn't it?
The problem with this is that it is not possible to manage its users through M365 groups as they only work with the owners/members logic. Whenever someone eligible from the team invites a guest in Teams it will be part of the M365 groups' members, thus of the "Members" security group of the site collection.
Can't wrap my head around how to get this to work at the moment...
