Introduction
This article addresses the issue reported by Bertram, Reinhard where the onboarding process was not being completed successfully, preventing users from joining the intended team. The specific case involves a user from a sister company in the U.S. with [email protected] email addresses.
Issue Description
The user, [email protected], was invited to join the team "G-Team" but could not complete the onboarding process. Even after successful authentication and confirmation steps, the user was not added to the team and was only presented with a loading symbol.
Clarification and Resolution Steps
Initial Meeting Proposal
A meeting was suggested to regrant permissions from the global administrator side and create a fresh invite for the colleague in question.
Collecting Tenant ID for Investigation
The user provided their Tenant ID allowing the Solutions2Share support team to check logs for potential errors.
Offering Detailed Instructions
Solutions2Share support suggested steps to manually set up a service user account in the External User Manager, which is crucial for handling all invitation processes.
Service User Setup
Navigate to the External User Manager's "Settings > Setup" menu.
Click the "Grant Permissions" button to ensure the service user has global admin rights.
Guest Access Understanding
The guest access feature in Microsoft 365 groups is highlighted, which is enabled by default and extends across various Microsoft 365 applications.
Suggestions for Workaround
In case the service user does not have global admin rights, an alternative user with such rights should be added to facilitate the invitation process.
