Best practice to add guest to AAD?

Iron Contributor

I could give a guest access to SPO directly from the site's permissions settings, and I could give a guest access to Teams directly from the Teams interface (at least in a channel, if not in chat). Is there any reason not to first register the guest(s) in AAD?

That's not true, if you chat with your "Guest" account, then they have to tenant switch. If you use federation, it goes straight to their tenant chat tab. it's a split that would be nice if they can consolidate it someday.

 

But again, it depends on how the account is setup, if they are actually invited to Teams, and a guest account is tied to that, then they have to switch, otherwise it's using federation. 

 

But as you can see, it's all confusing :)

Thanks for the tip. Very helpful!
