Yeah if the user already exists in the tenant I would expect the feature to check for that before sending an email invitation. Sound like a scenario they didn't code for/test, we get a lot of these lately...

Hi Andrew Hodges,

 

Thanks for flagging this! Can you share (pun not intended 🙂 ) which Share UI you used to add the guest user from Domain B to the site? Thanks!

      Hi Andrew Hodges,

       

      What this from the modern Share UI or were you using classic? Thanks!

        Hi StephenRice ,

         

        Both, I checked from the Share Site button and the Share file button in Modern pages and also in the back end permission screens, adding the user to site permissions. 

         

        Thanks
