Details for Site Owners
By default site sharing settings are Only people in your organization.
- If external sharing for your SharePoint site is not enabled, please Submit a Ticket to request access via the Service Desk portal page.
- External Sharing policy allows for New and existing guests to provide secure links.
Add a Guest
If you are adding an external user (non-Dartmouth address), they have to be added as a member via the O365 group interface first. Then you can add them as a member or visitor to the SharePoint site.
- Using the bwa.dartmouth,edu web interface to your email account, go to the Groups section and open the intended group (name is same as site name).
- Click on the member link to add external user email address as a guest.
- Once the user is added to the group, go to the SharePoint interface to the site,
- Click Settings
icon, select Site Permissions, then select Advanced permissions settings.
- You can then add members to selected site groups (i.e. member, visitor) to invite them to collaborate on the site.
Example - add external recipient to site Members groups, which also sends invitation.
External recipient will receive an email "inviting you to collaborate on <site name>"
Guest Access To Site
- Clicking the included link takes the guest to site sign in, where they will use their external email address.
- Clicking next then prompts to Send code for access.
- Providing code authenticates guest to site, and provides access.
