SPO Sharing with Azure B2B User Issue
I have a scenario where I need to use pre-created Azure B2B users. The users will be invited via the Azure Portal/Azure cmdlets and not SPO.
In testing, after a user accepts an invitation, I'm going to an SPO Team site. Using the classic UI, e.g. Site Settings -> People and Groups, the B2B user cannot be found. However, if I use the Modern UI (e.g. sharing modern Doc Lib), the user can be found.
Is this a bug or intended behavior? I need to be able to share sites using B2B users and non-default groups.
The solution was:
Set-SPOSite https://tenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName -ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers $true

Hi Trevor Seward,
This should work. When you create the Azure B2B user, an account should be created in your directory which should then be resolvable in the sharing dialog. Are you getting an error when trying to resolve them? Can you send screenshots of what you're seeing? Thanks!

The solution was:
Set-SPOSite https://tenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName -ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers $true
- Through a support case, doing a Ctrl-K will resolve the name in a classic UI interface, but that's not really a good solution. We should be seeing the autocomplete that you see with internal users.
There's no error, it just doesn't resolve the user ("no results found") when interacting with Classic experience sharing. Same site using the Modern sharing experience works just fine.
