Importing a list of users from Outlook (or Excel) into SharePoint permissions?
We have a SharePoint site which needs to be shared externally with a large group of users. Typically, when you share a site externally, you enable external sharing and simply enter their email addres...
I faced the same scenario. All I can figure out was to copy all the email address into Notepadd++/Excel for formatting, and then just copy and paste all the formatted email id's into the 'share site' invitation area and press 'share'.
SharePoint will be auto-invitations for all the external users if you opt to 'Send an email invitation' at the time of sharing.
Note: Before sharing the site, make sure all the external domains are added to the sharing list through Admin Portal. Else, you will receive an error.
Hope this helps!
