Trimming Viva Engage default “All Company” community membership

Hi Anders Dissing​ 

There isn't a way to trim users from the "All Company" community. But you can use a dynamic group and an exclusionary conditional access policy to restrict the usage of Viva Engage. The challenge lies in the fact that those contractors still need the E3 license, just not the Viva Engage feature. So, while group-based licensing would normally work, it won't in your case.

Your dynamic rule can have multiple conditions that define the membership automatically.

For example: "user email ends with" could include approved users only, filtering out domain accounts that are not meant to use Engage. Depending on your user properties, this could be a viable solution.

Caution: Do not delete the "All Company" group as it may be a challenge to restore it. I've seen the fallout from this mistake and it's a messy recovery.

Hope this helps!
