Provisioning a team with hundreds of guest users

    Hi JernejP - I am afraid that won't work on two fronts.

     

    250 licenses is only going to cover you for 1250 Guest users as per the 1:5 ratio. Unless you have more licenses and that is just 250 licensed users for this one Team.

     

    And at present you can only add 10000 users to a single Team.

We would split this into multiple teams (so for example 30 teams), and all 13.000 users would be divided between them, so the 10k limit would not be reached. So the option would be to get more licenses and do Guest AD access?

Hi JernejP 

Yes, to cover you for the amount of Guest users working off of the 1 licensed user to 5 Guest users principle.

 

And then utilise the methods suggested by Andrew Hodges in terms of not having to do it manually.

 

Thanks
