Release Notes
Find insights about newly released features below:
January 2024
With the January 2024 release, we have focused on providing advanced guest management features for administrators, ensuring that guests are always registered in the directory according to the company guidelines and automatically removed if not or no longer needed. The following features are now available:
Invitation acceptance policy
Often, guests are invited even though they ultimately do not need access to documents or other content.
The new extension of the Invitation Flow with the Invitation Acceptance Policy allows guests to be automatically
marked as non-compliant, blocked, or deleted if they have not accepted their invitation after a specified number
of days.
Default template
Guests now provides the "default template" option. When guests are invited through the native functions in Microsoft Teams,
SharePoint, or OneDrive, these default template is automatically assigned to them.
This enables the option of inviting guests either through Microsoft 365's standard functions or through the
Guests Invitation Wizard. In both cases, the solution ensures that the person responsible for the guest is
known and that defined governance and lifecycle policies (e.g., access renewals) are automatically applied.
Inactivity policy
Customers with Microsoft Entra P1 licenses now have an Inactivity Policy available, allowing inactive guests
to be automatically flagged, blocked, or deleted. This ensures that guest accesses that are no longer
actively used are automatically removed from your directory after a specified number of days.
