No one?

 

Is there any kind of workaround for this issue? Or official guidance saying that it shouldn't work?

    Magnus Göransson- I cannot figure this out a year later.

     

    As an external user, I want to navigate to https://<tenant>/sharepoint.com and arrive at the Client Success Portal with View Only (guest) permissions so that I can consume general news, events and documents that are available for all external users.

    so that when I click the "My Projects" link in the top navbar, then I navigate to https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com//_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx

    so that I am presented with all of the Office 365 Groups that I have Read/Write (contributor or member) permissions and participate with my selected group.

    ...

    1.  External Users, after receiving access to the Communication Site are not presented with a search input.

    2.  External Users cannot see the Office 365 Groups on the SharePoint Portal

    3.  External Users CAN navigate directly to the https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<sitename>, but ARE NOT allowed to follow the site or take any action to pin the site to the SharePoint Portal.

     

    Please help!!
