Guests cant load the Office365-users in a peoplepicker

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 54

Hello,

 

After a few days searching I hope to find a solution in the community:

 

I created a powerapp from a SharePoint-list. The app and sharepointsite are shared with both internal and external (guest) users.

The guest users can open the site, list and even the powerapp which works fine except it doenst load the office-365 users in the peoplepicker.

 

Following error shows up when the users should load:

 

Office365-gebruikers.SearchUser mislukt: {

"status": 403,

"message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.\r\nclientRequestId: 053dafb7-de8c-4e89-9803-f528d020a5a8", "error": { "message": "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation." },

"source": "office365users-we.azconn-we-01.p.azurewebsites.net" }

 

Any ideas?

    @BaseCamp ,

    I have seen other posts of the same subject - I believe it is due to the fact that guests should not be viewing your Active Directory and the security in there is stopping non-domain users from accessing the data.

    Hi All, 

     

    We have encountered this issue on our tenant whilst trying to do a lookup of a B2B guest account.

    Although our issue is that the external user who is unable to look up their own information.

    We have a simple call 

    Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:varCurrentUserEmail})
    Which will bring back a user object of that user. From there we make use of the users display name and given name for populating the form that users use request access to the rest of the app amongst other things.
     
    Whilst I do agree that since they are a guest account restricting access to our internal AD is a good thing. But surely a B2B user can lookup their own information or at least other B2B user info?
     
    Thanks, 
    Andrew
