Guest user with System Administrator role cannot add users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 602

Hi,

we have a group of external users, who should do some administration tasks in our environment (e.g. adding users when needed). The users have guest accounts in our tenant and no licenses assigned by us.

I gave the users the System Administrator role in the environment.

 

Issue: 

The users can see the environment, but cannot add any users within the environment. When searching for users, they get the message "There are no exact matches.".

 

Is this a known limitation or are there other things we need to configure to enable them to add users?

 

Regards

    You might have to reconsider on how to manage the users due to limitations. 

     

    Ask your guest users to fill the details then automate using cloud flow admin actions.

    Hi,

    yes, by default guest users can't view other users:

    Please, review this doc:

    and this tenant setting:
