SharePoint Permission for guest users through security groups
I noticed something strange in SharePoint Online and would like to get your confirmation for this behaviour or your comment if I am doing anything wrong. We have many guest users in our organisat...
Thanks for your reply.
- Yes internal users work instantly. Also the check permission does what it should.
- Yes, Microsoft 365 groups (thats what you mean by "teams group", right?) also work as intended.
So: Only normal Security groups have this issue.

David_Elsner Have you every had any luck getting this to work? I am running in the exact same issue here with external users.
sfroehlich_aza , David_Elsner I have run into the same issue, what I have narrowed it down to is that if users are 'members' in Azure, it works as expected, if users are 'guests' in Azure, SharePoint does not see them in the AD Group and they have to be added manually.
I currently have a ticket with Microsoft to investigate.
I have a back up plan using Power Automate to 'get all members' from a dynamic AD group in Azure and 'add them' to a Scurity group in SharePoint, messy, but it does seem to work.carlsmith Did you ever get anywhere with Microsoft?
Cant get it to work myselfYes, I did !
In short having someone as a 'Guest' in AD does not allow you to add them to a, AD Group!
You need to either add them as a 'Member' in Azure, or manually add them as individual users
