As as Admin add a Guest to a Team
Hello,
Is there a way as an Admin to add a Guest to a Team without:
A. Joining the Team first then adding them
B. Adding the Guest first thought AAD and then adding them to the Team?
I've tried in the Teams admin center and it appears that the "add members" dialog there can only add users that are already in the directory.
It would be nice if I could add the guest and send them the invite to the Team at the same time.
Thank you
You can use PowerShell or the Graph API for that, the UI wont work. Well I suppose you can try the Azure AD portal, but PowerShell would be my go-to tool for this.
The invite needs to be sent first though, and it's also a good idea to wait for the user to redeem it.
- PowerShell is the go-to tool for everything 😜
We can add the external account in fine, but only once that user has accepted the invite into the tenant.
can't speak for the others, but we weren't able to add the user into the tenant+Team in one hit.
That said, I will try tonight and let you know how I go.
- Doesn't seem to be.
We do the same thing as you;
Invite the external user as a guest
After the user has accepted the invite, add the account into the Team.
Otherwise, I think you can add yourself as an owner, then send a Teams invite to the (external) guest though Teams. But I haven't tried to be sure this works.
