Hi Steve_Roh,
to control who within your organization can invite guests, you can use the Guest inviter role:
Create a security group for guest inviter users:
- Sign in to the Microsoft Teams admin center using a Global Administrator or Security Administrator account.
- Navigate to Groups and select All groups.
- Create a new Security group.
- Provide a name and optional description.
- Ensure the group can have roles assigned.
- Add owners and members to the group.
- Assign the Guest inviter role to the group under Roles.
- Confirm the creation of the group.
Configure external collaboration settings:
- After setting up the security group, adjust the external collaboration settings to allow only users with the Guest inviter role to invite guests.
- Note that Global Administrators retain the ability to invite guests regardless of these settings.
- In the Teams admin center, navigate to External identities and select External collaboration settings.
- Choose the option to restrict guest invites to specific admin roles.
- Save your changes.
