How to create a guest mail user in office 365

To create a guest mail user in Office 365, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

• You need to have an Office 365 subscription with a license that allows guest access (e.g., Enterprise E3 or E5).
• You need to be an administrator with the necessary permissions to manage users and guest access.

Step 1: Go to the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) portal

• Sign in to the Azure AD portal with your Office 365 admin credentials.
• Click on the "Azure Active Directory" button in the top navigation menu.

Step 2: Navigate to the "Users" section

• In the Azure AD portal, click on the "Users" tab.
• Click on the "New guest user" button.

Step 3: Enter the guest user's information

• Enter the guest user's email address, first name, and last name.
• You can also add a display name, job title, and department if needed.
• Make sure to select "Guest" as the user type.

Step 4: Set the guest user's permissions

• Choose the permissions you want to grant to the guest user. You can select from the following options:
  • "Reader" (can view only)
  • "Contributor" (can view and edit)
  • "Editor" (can view, edit, and delete)
  • "Owner" (has full control)
• You can also choose to grant the guest user access to specific resources, such as SharePoint sites or Teams channels.

Step 5: Set the guest user's password

• You can choose to set a password for the guest user or have them use their existing password.
• If you choose to set a password, you'll need to enter a strong password and confirm it.

Step 6: Review and create the guest user

• Review the guest user's information and permissions to ensure everything is correct.
• Click the "Create" button to create the guest user.

Step 7: Send the guest user an invitation

• Once the guest user is created, you'll need to send them an invitation to join your organization.
• Click on the "Send invitation" button to send an email invitation to the guest user.
• The guest user will receive an email with a link to accept the invitation and join your organization.

That's it! The guest user should now be able to access your Office 365 organization with the permissions you granted them.
