guest expiration
Hi all,
The Expiring External Access feature mentioned in the documentation above hasn't been rolled out yet which is why it's not showing up in your UI 🙂 Looks like our documentation went live a little early. Keep an eye on Message Center for the latest details on this feature! Thanks!

StephenRice we recently enabled guest access expiration in the SPO admin console but its also expiring access to MS Teams SPO sites (I am not quite sure why its picking "random" guest accounts to expire). Can you clarify how this works? I am able to override this at the site collection layer for each team, but that is not very practical. It would also be great if I could see what content will be expired.
MicrosoftHi walter-wodzien,
Expiration will apply to any guest that is accessing content through sharing links or direct access in a OneDrive or SP site. So if a user on an MS Teams SPO Site was shared to via a sharing link, they would expire. But if they are accessing through membership in the Team or an AAD group, then they will not expire.
Unfortunately there isn't an easy way for us to surface which access is expiring (the expiration actually occurs on the user object in that site) but you can use features like the Site Sharing Report or auditing to help.
Hope that helps!
