New Azure B2B Invite process: Redemption through a direct link

“Just in Time Redemption”.

In the past, in order for your guest/partner users to access a shared resources utilising Azure B2B Collaboration, they would have had to be invited by email to access resources/apps on your Azure Tenant. When receiving the email, your guest/partner clicks on the invitation link which will trigger its acceptance and consequent adding the guest/partner account as a guest user in your tenant and the providing access to the resources or apps you have configured.

Now, although that option still available, your guest/partner users can simply access the application you’ve invited them to. How? You can invite a guest/partner user by sending him/her a direct link to a shared app.

After any guest user signs in to access resources in a partner organization for the first time, they see a Review permissions screen.

The guest/partner user must accept the use of their information in accordance to the inviting organization’s privacy policies to continue

Upon consent, the guest/partner users will be redirected to the application shared by you.

How it works:

1. 1. • You want your guest/partner user to access a specific application
      • You add them as a guest user to your organization (In the Azure Portal, go to Azure Active Directory -> Users -> New Guest User)

1. 
   • In the message invitation, type the link to the application you want them to have access to
   • Now, your guest/partner user will only have to click on the link to the application to immediately access it after giving consent.

It’s very simple isn’t it?
