Skype for business Federation
Hi,
We are running SFB Online with closed federation and on only for allowed domains. We are looking into option to open up our federation where we can reduce the system administrator workload to add allowed domain, and test it with external domain for quick functional test.
By opening up our SFB federation and similar to on for allowed domain, the external users are able to search and contact our internal users through SFB. And they can view the presence, IM chat, voice & video call to our internal users.
Are there any solutions where our end users can approve the contact add request before the external users can view the presence, IM, and call them?
Thanks.
