Licensing requirement for accessing read only SharePoint Online team site
Can a user without a SharePoint Online licence access (read only) a SharePoint Online team site? Thanks Dave

I agree with Vasil, we found (by accident) that you could 'share' a site with an internal user without an O365 licence and even give that user edit rights. However, that's all they can see, they don't see anything in the waffle menu if they have no licence.

AndrewWarland, can I ask if said user had any license type at all, and if so, what license?

Matt Coats the users who could access the site had no O365 licence at all. We have been able to share the sites with anyone in our organisation. We stumbled across this by accident when we found that users we had shared a site with (with edit rights) were editing content on the site and asked me a question about it. It was only then we realised they had no licence.
