Can external users create sites inside a tenant
One of our clients, shared some sites with my usernname, i can access the site as an external users. now i went to the sharePoint home page @ https://***.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx .. where i got the option to create a site, but when i select the site template for example communication site, i will get a blank page inside the popup , as follow:-
so can i conclude that external users can not create new sites inside their tenant? Also can they add my external user as a SharePoint admin inside their office 365? so i can do the job?
Thanks
Rob_Elliottok thanks for the clear and useful reply. now i am working as a consultant for a client, so i though i can do this using my office 365 account then they can remove my access. so in this case, what they need is to create an internal user for me to do the work? what is the minimum license needed to be able to define the user as a SharePoint admin, my main work will be to create sites, lists, term stores and so on..
My understanding is that external users cannot create sites on your tenant unless they've specifically been granted permissions by the tenant admin. But it's not best practice. Nor can an external user be an admin - that would be a very bad idea and most companies would never allow it.
