Guest sees page for 2 seconds then access denied to Group SP site

So you may have seen my posts over the months as I try to use GROUPS to support external users (my customers). It has now been over a week on my latest support ticket with no response or even attempt ...

I'm seeing what I think is the same issue for a guest user - when initially added to the Group, checking their effective SharePoint permissions, it all looks fine - then a couple of minutes later, their effective permissions include a long list of 'Deny' entries.

This issue was fixed according to my ticket [Ticket #:7689974] and confirmed by testing 5/29

    I may have missed it, but what is your ticket number?  I have had multiple tickets open over the past 6 months regarding this issue.  I give external access.  When I check permissions for that user, they have their permissions however below is a very long list of Deny permissions which is preventing anyone external from accessing our sharepoint site.  I've received multiple solutions from Microsoft.  I even heard that Microsoft removed the ability for guests to collaborate due to security reasons.  If I have a ticket I can reference, that may possible help them resolve this for me.

     

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    I was told it was a full roll-out to every tenant - nothing special done to mine. Groups created before that date just started working. I would open a ticket and quote my ticket number for reference. HTH

    Hi David - do you know if they did something specific to your tenant in order to fix, or a wider rolled out fix / update - and also would it still affect Groups created before 5/29 ?
