User Types & Creation

Always try and enforce the concept of least privilege: Users should only have the level of access required for them to perform their work tasks. Nothing more.

User Types

Internal Member

• These users are most likely full time employees in your organization.

Internal Guest

• These users have access in your tenant but have guest level privileges. Possible they were created within your tenant prior to the availability of a B2B collaboration.

External Members

• These users authenticate using an external account, but have member access to your tenant. These are common in multitenant organizations.

External Guest

• These users are true guest of your tenant who authenticate using an external method and who have guest level privileges.
