Sharepoint Guest Users
Hi All, We are using Sharepoint online to share documents with users outside of our organisation. We have enabled the option that users need to authenticate from the email address that they receive the document sharing invite on. They receive the document email and then they need to enter the verification code to access the document. We are finding that some external users get the verification code email and other external users are almost being treated as internal users and are getting direct access however they are prompted to login with a MS account which of course they dont have and therefore unable to access the document. When we look at the sharing links, the links that are shared with users that dont have any issues include the email that the verification code needs to be sent to, whereas the problematic users get links that dont include the verification code email address. When we investigated further we found the problematic users are being added as Guest users in our Office Admin Portal and I dont know why this is happening. When I share a document with my personal email address it works fine and I dont appear in the guest users group and for most other external users, the case is the same. There are about 25 external users which are having issues. Once I delete the Guest users, the issue no longer exists. This issue has only presented itself in the last 2 weeks or so. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and hope this all makes sense, admittedly it took me a while to get the exact details of the problem after it was first reported. thanks trev
Adding QR Codes to Microsoft Authenticator for Azure AD Guest Accounts
Getting a new device means that some work must be done to ensure that apps work. This article explains how to add QR codes to the Microsoft Authenticator app so that the app has the credentials to respond to MFA challenges. We cover how to get QR codes for Azure AD accounts and how to do the same for guest accounts in other Microsoft 365 tenants. https://office365itpros.com/2023/01/04/microsoft-authenticator-app-qr/
Can't invite deleted Guest User "We ran into an issue. Please try again later."
Good morning Microsoft community We have to delete an Guest-User from our AD and reinvite the Guest-User into a team - the reason is a workaround for a PowerBI problem. I have a short, but for me an unsolveable question: I deleted the Guest-User and permanently deleted him inside of the "deleted users". After more than 24h i tried to reinvite him into a team. What now happens, is that he still get listed in the memberdropdown menu and if i click on him, the following message appears. As information: I cant just type his mailadress inside the invitation-box, without picking his saved mailadress from the dropdown-list - otherwise it doesn't recognize a new guest-user. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much! Kind regards B_Gen
Identifying what resources Guest Users in my tenant have been granted access to?
I have a few Guest Users defined in my M365 tenant, as well as seeing a few "#EXT# external accounts (which each appear to be directly associated with their respective Guest User account) listed in my Active Users list. How can I determine what internal resources these guest user accounts have been granted access to?
