Hi Jakob
Yes, you should be able to assign them directly. (At least this worked in our tenant).
Just leave the group id in the csv empty. If you leave InvitedToApplications
and the InvitedToGroups fields empty, the user is added as a guest to your Azure AD.
From there you should be able to assign the user using the people picker.
There is one caveat though: It might take some time until the people picker can resolve the user correctly. (Not sure, but I think it has to do with the syncing of the AD).
Just type in the email address and hit "ok". It should be resolved properly.
Good luck!
