MC696169 (Updated) Legacy SharePoint Invitation Manager is being retired We are completing our retirement of the legacy SharePoint Invitation Manager for guests. This platform is current used only when Document Libraries are shared externally or when an external user is shared to with a custom role. These flows will now use Entra B2B Invitation Manager instead. This means that these flows will now also respect any policies or settings in the Entra B2B admin center.

This platform is current used only when Document Libraries are shared externally or when an external user is shared to with a custom role. These flows will now use Entra B2B Invitation Manager instead. This means that these flows will now also respect any policies or settings in the Entra B2B admin center.

Note:

The primary Entra & ODSP settings that need to be consistent are the Allow/Deny domains policy and the "Who Can Share"/"Guest Inviter" role policies. If these policies are not inline, it may result in failures during the sharing flow (for example, SPO allows sharing to outlook.com but Entra blocks sharing to outlook.com)

This change is unaffected by the "EnableAzureADB2BIntegration" setting in SPO PowerShell. This setting only applies to file/folder sharing.

This change only applies to a very small set of legacy sharing actions, including sharing of document libraries and sharing via custom roles. All other flows (File/folder sharing, site sharing) will continue to use the previous & selected behaviors.

Scheduling, setting up, and managing an event is not a simple task. Which is why we allow co-organizer to be added to the event so they can work alongside or on behalf of the organizer. So far co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting options, view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like title, date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now they can! Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event like the organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full parity of experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event.
