Last week, after I wrote the previous article on B2B Management Policy I had a nagging feeling that I wanted to write something more. It was in the back of my brain I just couldn't articulate it. Then during this week when I was teaching SC-900 and doing labs with Azure AD I remembered. Then, me being me I forgot it again. It's been that kind of week. But sitting in the restaurant today at Wagamama whilst eating a load of teriyaki soba it all came flooding back: it was a complimentary piece to B2B management on how we can restrict adding guests based upon external identities and leveraging Azure AD roles. Last week, we saw how you could out and out block specific domains, which meant that guests from those specific domains cannot be added. This week, we are going to see how you can stop Teams owners from adding guests unless they have a specific Azure AD role assigned called Guest Inviter. This has two real benefits. The first is that it stops Teams owners backdooring guests when you have implemented Entitlement Management because setting up EM doesn't suddenly strip Team owners of adding guests directly in the team itself via manage users. Secondly, because Team owners no longer have standing access to invite guests and you are basing that functionality upon assignment of an Azure AD role, you can now run it through PIM and this would go well with an access review. Now it would certainly be what you could call an EM light approach. The upside would be you no longer have to deal with catalogues or packages which removes a layer of complexity. The downside is that with EM you can package multiple Teams/Microsoft 365 groups/SharePoint site at a time: what follows wouldn't be able to do that. Still, it gives us another tool in the kitbag should we want. It also works from the perspective of not having to purely rely on having to use sensitivity labels to block guest access to specific teams, since Team owners won't be able to do that unless they have the assigned role - and then they could be used anyway. So in short, this facilitates EM through to its full conclusion or an alternative approach which isn't so rigid as EM, but still puts controls on users adding guests carte blanche.
