Re: How to allow External users to connect to Azure Virtual Desktop?

Are you trying to use external identities? That's documented as unsupported.

it's also mentioned on the page you link to.

    I'm not sure? We have random companies trying to sell us things, but they need access to our environment and instead of creating them temporary accounts (i.e. email address removed for privacy reasons), we were hoping we could just add them in AAD via "Invite external user". Is that not an external user?

      That is an external identity (B2B) and thus won't work.

      Yes, the terminology is confusing.

        What is an "external user" then in the AVD supported sense?
