How to solve the issue of guest users access in Office 365 when you applied restriction on office 365 groups creation tenant wide?


  1. connect-AzureAD via powerShell
  2. Run the following command:
  3. $template = Get-AzureADDirectorySettingTemplate | ? {$_.displayname -eq "group.unified"}
  4. See if you already have an AzureADDirectorySetting object, and if so save the Object ID. Run this command:
  5. $settingsObjectID = (Get-AzureADDirectorySetting | Where-object -Property Displayname -Value "Group.Unified" -EQ).id
  6. $template = Get-AzureADDirectorySettingTemplate | ? {$_.displayname -eq "group.unified"}
  7. $settingsCopy = $template.CreateDirectorySetting()
  8. New-AzureADDirectorySetting -DirectorySetting $settingsCopy
  9. $settingsObjectID = (Get-AzureADDirectorySetting | Where-object -Property Displayname -Value "Group.Unified" -EQ).id
  10. Copy the AzureADDirectorySetting object back into the local $settingsCopy variable:
  11. $settingsCopy = Get-AzureADDirectorySetting –Id $settingsObjectID
  12. This is only a COPY of the settings; changes won’t take effect until you copy it BACK to the AzureADDirectorySetting object.
  13. Set the option to allow | block (True or False) guests to access O365 groups:
  14. $settingsCopy["AllowGuestsToAccessGroups"] = "true"

To verify the change took effect, retrieve the value from the AzureADDirectorySetting object (don’t just look at the local copy in $settingsCopy):

  1. (Get-AzureADDirectorySetting –Id $settingsObjectID).Values
