Thanks Jurgen for reaching out! Can you explain a bit what do you mean by "Any solution for existing O365 users as guests"?

For the second one; by default guest tenant doesnt need any change, in this case the guest tenant had an exclusive policy to disable creation of viral user, which is needed to create guest user.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Every now and then my customers get the response from invited "group guests" that they cannot access to the group via invitation (error: tenant does not allow email verified users to be added due to an admin-defined policy. Contact the person who invited you to report the error).

They do as said and contact the owner of the group. But the problem seems to be a policy at the guests tenant (?).

My question: What has a policy (guest tenant) to do with the guest account, created at the invitation site (tenant)? Or for short: May I tell those guests to contact their (!) IT-administration to look at their policies?

Thanks again,

Juergen
