How can a guest user get overview of what Office 365 groups he/she have access to?

Hi

 

When a guest user is invited to a Office 365 group the guest gets an invitation email.

Guests can in some cases be member of several Office 365 groups (maybe in different Office 365 tenants). These emails will overtime get lost (or accidentally) be deleted.

 

I'm missing a solution for a guest to login (With his/her Microsoft Account) to "a place" where the guest gets overview of what Office 365 groups the user have access to.  Is there such a solution that i do not know about?

      Hi Vasil

       

      Thanks. Now we are close to the answer/solution :) But there is a missing part I do not understand.

      This URL you are referencing to ( https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r#/groups ).

       

      I have tested a bit around this and what I see is that this works for "Enterprise accounts". So when an organization invites me as a guest (with my Office 365 UPN) into a group in their Office 365 tenant. Then this is working as expected.

       

      But when I in my Office 365 tenant try to invite (Into a group) an non-enterprise account, like GMail/Hotmail and other, then this user will be asked to connect/create an microsoft account to his/her email-address. So far so good. When this user after this try this URL then this user will not see the groups the user is member of :(

       

      Why is there a difference between Enterprise accounts (office 365 accounts) and non-enterprise Microsoft accounts (connected to gmail +++) ???

       

      This is the functionality I'm looking for - but it have to work for all types of guest accounts/users.

        Yeah, I seem to be getting some sort of error when using MicrosoftId as well, not sure if by design or a bug...

    As long as you're not precious about using the modern experience you could use Content by Search web part (CSWP) for something like this. Just configure a CSWP, on an external users landing site as an example, to bring back only Sites in the search results. As long as your security has been set correctly on all of your other sites, your user will only see the sites which they have been granted access to.
