How do you handle a team with 100 different customers that need access to only their content?
I think I would use the PnP Partner pack to create all of the site collections https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-Partner-Pack and enable them for external sharing, then I would create an Azure AD group for each customer, then put that AAD Group into the Members group of the applicable site collection. I would put 2 of my own people into the Owners group.
I would also want to put customer specific logos into each of the site collections to provide a visual cue.
Teams is not applicable because you cannot yet use it for External Sharing. You may want to hook this up to the SPO site collections when this functionality become available.
Not having Exchange Online is not an issue for this scenario.
Create sites or sitecollections with external rights for them and use Azure B2B to give access to the content.
- Thanks! That's a great idea. However, that would necessitate creating 100 sites, right? What if all of the customers are internal to the organization, though? However it is important that they not be able to see other's information?
You can do the same thing, a separate site or site collection is the easiest way. For the External user scenario, you definitely want separate site collections, for the internal user scenario, subsites in one collection can work, but navigation can get tricky.
My organization is set to modern sites by default, so if a user were to create 100 different 'Groups' would this get hairy in Planner and other 365 apps? We're not yet on Outlook online. Thanks!
