Office 365 is an incredibly powerful tool for boosting productivity and facilitating collaboration. Securing collaboration becomes a bit more complicated when it comes guest users and external sharing.

The platform has powerful controls, however they need to be configured correctly and the out-of-the-box functionality is one-size-fits all within the tenant. There are also important questions organizations must answer:

• How do I enforce external sharing policies?
• How do I know which Teams or Groups have guest users?
• How do I manage guest user permissions once they have been granted access? Can guest users create or delete Teams channels?

Join AvePoint Public Sector CTO and Microsoft Regional Director John Peluso and PixelMill President and Co-Founder Eric Overfield as they discuss how to operationalize Office 365 collaboration with a focus on securing external sharing and guest users in Microsoft Teams.

And more! If you don’t have an active plan for securing external collaboration in Microsoft Teams you have an unmitigated risk, shadow IT or both. Take the first step to enabling external collaboration with confidence and register today.

Office 365 Groups enable end-users to have access to a collection of resources that simplifies collaboration with their co-workers.

Users don’t have to worry about manually assigning permissions due to adding members to the group automatically giving them the needed permissions to the tools the group uses and provides. This includes, but is not limited to, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and Outlook.

The advantage for IT departments is clear. By gathering identities into Groups, permissions management has become simplified. But how can organizations ensure that all of these Office 365 Groups are managed at scale and can avoid sprawl or security concerns?
