Questions about Communications Sites and Permissions
- Hi!
I believe that an extranet site could be the way to go here. Here is a good place to start

Thanks for the response. It seems like pretty much what I have done, except it uses a classic site instead of a modern site. But the steps for invitation, etc. seems to be the same. Inviting and then removing individual users.
Still will have the same issue of multiple site permission in a site hub are different, etc.
I did see that when you invite a user, a guest user is created when they accept the invite. You can then go into Azure AD and add them to a security group. Its a second step, and there doesn't not seem to be a way to way to automate or at least get a notification when the user answers the invite (because the account doesn't get created in Azure AD until they do that). But anyway, doing it from Azure AD seems to allow you to add a guest account to a security group. Just cant do it from the Office 365 admin.
Better but still a little bit of a pain.
- For sure, it’s not ideal.
As per the article here

You can see who was invited and who accepted guest invitations. You may be able to set up an alerting policy around it for notification either via the audit log or via Azure AD

- Great let me know how you get on
