Guest Accounts in Azure AD

[shibinvpkvr]

Can Azure AD connector/REST connector support creation of Guest accounts in Azure AD? 

[RakeshMG]

This is currently not supported. We can create the user accounts for the tenant only.

Thanks @RakeshMG so we cannot create guest accounts using the connector right? What is the alternative? 

[shibinvpkvr]

We understand that Azure AD REST connector cannot create Guest accounts in a tenant. However Azure AD connector can import those accounts to Saviynt correct? Also can we add those to groups as well? What is the recommendation for creating Guest accounts from Saviynt? 

[shibinvpkvr · Accepted solution]

We can invoke the https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/invitations API to trigger guest account registrations. Why can't we trigger this from createaccountjson to achieve this use case? I have discussed this with @timchengappa as well.

@shibinvpkvr We should be able to do this by modifying the CreateAccountJSON to add a condition to call the Invitation API for external users.

Please use the attached CreateAccount JSON as a sample and modify it based on your requirements.
