SharePoint Extranet & intranet migration to SPO
Hi, I am in a similar situation and was disappointed that your post had not attracted more attention or response. Curious to hear what progress or decision you made.
We are currently using another external platform (Jive-X) to engage with a select subset of clients. We do not limit the amount of client accounts who have access. We are billed by usage or clicks.
Hi Nadine, I am still evaluating extranet strategy in SharePoint Online. But since the original posts is old, I can update on some key things:
Option 1 is the most feasible approach and extranet users can be added to tenant as "external users" and they need not be assigned any licenses . Good governance (making sure internal sites have sharing disabled) can prevent accidental sharing of intranet sites with external users. The main disadvantage is since extranet users are present in our company Azure AD , they will appear in SharePoint people picker even in the internal sites.
Option 2 : For this there is no double licensing involved as company users can be added as guests to new tenant and reuse their existing licenses in the second tenant. There is clear separation of internal and extranet tenants. Additional tenant needs to be purchased with minimum 250 seats.Thank you for the update - it was useful.
what about using B2C or B2B for external users, that way you can have better control over what people can share with whom.
- Azure AD B2C is a very good candidate conceptually as it provides social logins and cost model is based on number of sign-ins etc, but it does not work with o365. o365 works only with Azure AD B2B tenant.
