University of Otago Teams allow guest users (by invitation only).
You can invite external users of other organizations as guests by using the “Add Member” option as per normal and entering their non-Otago email address.
Sometimes, there can be a delay in this process where you will get an error message when you first invite the guest. You can then wait for a short period (15-30 min) and then invite again and it should work. This is because a guest user needs to be created behind the scenes and sometimes there is a delay for this process.
The guest user will get an email inviting them to the team. If their organization already uses Teams, they will usually find the experience a little clunky as they may need to open a separate instance of Teams in a browser to access the Otago Team.
If you wish to have guest access turned off for your Team, please contact AskOtago.
