Guest user, how to change it to member?

Hi everyone, We have a free Teams piano and we are using it during this Covid Emergency to keep in  touch. I don't know how it happened, but one of our users has been invited as a guest instead of me...

Visually, you could change the Usertype to "member" via Powershell. See:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/b2b/user-properties

Technically, you cannot change the Identity Provider for an existing account. You will need to add a new member account in the Azure AD, provide the permissions and remove the guest account for that same person. 

Just out of interest: what happened with the initial invite...? Wrong mail address?

    Paul Slijkhuis many thanks, but how do I do this in a Free Teams environment?

    We are testing Exchange on line, and I see I have also the full Teams availability, but our tenant is not used for this and has been disabled.

    So our environment is totally Free Teams based witout any powershell or a console to manage users (or maybe I am not aware about this!)

     

    About what happend I don't really know: according to me another "owner" added this user as guest, and now it seems that is not possible to change it to member.

     

    Hope someone can help me

    thanks!

      The AAD portal should do the trick, via Aad.portal.azure.com. Even in AAD free this is the place tot manage details for Users and Groups. Alternatively via the admin.microsoft.com portal.
