How To Add Azure Active Directory B2B Collaboration Users In Azure Portal

Introduction

After you add a guest user to the directory, you can either send the guest user a direct link to a shared app or the guest user can click the redemption URL in the invitation email.

To work together with the users from other companies through Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2B working together/team effort, you can invite guest users to access shared apps. After a guest user is added to the directory through the user (connecting point/way of interacting with something), or the user is invited through PowerShell, the guest users must go through a first-time permission-related process where they agree to the privacy terms. This process happens in either of the following ways:

1. The guest invitor sends out a direct link to a shared app. The invitee clicks the link to sign in, accepts the privacy terms, and perfectly accesses the shared useful thing/valuable supply. (The guest user still receives an invitation email with a redemption URL but other than some special cases, it's no longer needed/demanded to use the invitation email.)

2. The guest user receives an invitation email and clicks the redemption URL. As part of first-time sign-in, they're caused/brought about/reminded to accept the privacy terms.

How to Add guest users to the directory

To add B2B working together/team effort users to the directory, follow these steps.

1. Sign into the Azure portal as an Azure AD administrator (Your Account).
2. In the navigation pane, select and open Azure Active Directory.
3. Under Manage, select Users.
   
   
   

4. Select and click the "New guest user" link.
   
   
   
   
   “The New guest user option is also available on the Organizational relationships page. In Azure Active Directory, under Manage, select Organizational relationships.”

5. After this click, fill out the space under User name, and enter the email address of the external user. Optionally, include a welcome message. For example,
   
   
   
   
   “Some email providers allow users to add a plus symbol (+) and added/more text to their email addresses to help with things like inbox filtering. However, Azure AD doesn't now support plus symbols in email addresses with. To avoid delivery issues, leave out the plus symbol and any characters following it up to the @ symbol.”
   
   Select "Invite" to automatically send the invitation to the guest user.

6. Notification of ‘Successfully invited user’ will come up.
   
   
   

7. After you send the invitation, the user account is automatically added to the directory as a guest.
   
   
   

How to add guest users to a group

1. Sign in to the Azure portal as an Azure AD administrator. (Your Account)
2. In the navigation pane, select and open Azure Active Directory.
3. Under Manage, select Groups.
   
   
   

4. Select a group (or click New group to create a new one). It's a good idea to include in the group description that the group contains B2B guest users.
