Root site permissions
Hi, I am in the process of replacing my old root site (SharePoint online) with a new Communication site we created. I read that: Review your source site to make sure it has the same policies, ...
Thanks for your answer 🙂
Can you perhaps help me understand what specific scenarios I could have where guests would need to access our root site?
I mean, we have Teams where guests are allowed in, but I don't see what would cause guests to access our root site - especially because it is going to be the top intranet site.
But am I missing something?
I think I will put the "everyone except external users" in the visitors group, to prevent issues for our internal users, but I still don't see the use for external access.
So I hope that you perhaps could elaborate or tell me about scenarios where external access would be needed to our new root site.
Thanks in advance 🙂

I personally cannot think of any scenario where Guests need access to Intranet and would never do that.
But I don’t know about your Intranet, may be work work with your content creators to understand why it was allowed earlier ?

- Thanks 🙂
But unfortunately there is nobody I can ask. The setup was created by an external company and the then admin is not here anymore.
But thank you very much for your answer 🙏🙂
