Transcript

There will be times when users that are external to your organization will need access to organization applications, especially in cases where your organization, maybe collaborates with a partner org. In such cases, you can invite external users to collaborate with your organization, by adding them to your directory as a guest user. After adding a guest user to your directory you can send the guest user an invitation email, that contains a redemption link or you can send the guest user a direct link to the app that you want to share. The guest user can sign in with his own work, school or social identity to access the shared application. In this demonstration, you'll learn: How to add a new guest user to Azure AD. How to send an invitation to the guest user. And what the guest user's invitation redemption process looks like. To prepare for this demonstration, I've created an external email address called, petrovskyabe@gmail.com. This email address for our fictitious user, Abe Petrovsky, will be used to add Abe to our directory. To grant Abe access to our MyFinance application, we need to add him to our directory as a guest user. To do this, let's click on Azure Active Directory, over here in the left pane, and then, under Manage, select Users. Let's create a New guest user by clicking the link in the toolbar. In the Email address field, we need to provide Abe's email address. If we wanted to, we could add a personalized message in the, Include a personal message box. I'm not worried about doing this for this demo, so I'll skip that piece. To send my invite to Abe, I just have to click Invite when I do this, the invitation is sent to Abe. After I send the invitation, Abe is automatically added to my directory as a guest. Once he's been added as a guest, I can assign the MyFinance app to him. To do so, I just have to click back out to Azure AD, and then on Enterprise applications within Azure AD. I then need to select the MyFinance application. From here, I can click on Users and groups and then add the user. From the Users and groups box, I can either select Abe's account, or I can search for it. After highlighting Abe's account, I need to click Select, and then Assign, to assign the MyFinance App to him. If we switch over to Abe's Gmail account, we can see the, you're invited email. In the body of the email, Abe just needs to click, Get Started, accept the conditions and then complete the sign-up process. At this point, the Access Panel opens and it shows Abe has access to MyFinance.
