Access to Azure AD database now possible for all mail addresses

Access to Azure AD database now possible for all mail addresses

Microsoft announced in the course of 2017 the general availability of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2B. This enables people to collaborate closely with people from outside their organisation and give them access to documents, resources and applications. At the same time, they retain complete control over their organisation’s data.

When Microsoft announced its availability, it also announced that it would add support for Google accounts. But it doesn’t end there, because today Microsoft is announcing that it is adding even more support. From now on it is possible for Azure AD B2B users to give access to the data to any e-mail address that is available.

Creating OTP

A new preview of Azure AD B2B shows that it is possible to create a one-time passcode (OTP). This enables everyone to share B2B with anyone who has a mail account. Of course, that’s just about everyone there, so Microsoft Azure AD B2B is much more widely available. The function works as follows:

  • You send an invitation via Azure AD B2B. This can be done via e-mail, but also via a direct link. Whichever of the two options is used, a message will appear stating that a code will be sent to the guest user’s email address. It then selects the option to receive a code.
  • The code is sent to the user’s mail account. This must be entered in the browser window.
  • Once the guest user has logged in and the account has been confirmed, he will be able to view all shared documents and data.

A session that starts with a guest user lasts a maximum of twenty-four hours. Guests must then reapply for an account and go through the same procedure again.
