Guest users granted contributor role do not receive automatically e-mail invitation

devschool_mihaib 0

I am trying to understand if this a problem for other people or I am doing a mistake somewhere.

When I was allocating contributor role from Azure Subscriptions - Access Control menu to guest users, it says clearly in the activity logs that the guest user was added to Default Directory as guest and that it also received an invitation link it must accept.

But the invitation link is not received on their mailbox, tested with a bunch of users, and of course their access on subscription is not working.

Instead, if you go to Microsoft Entra ID, select the guest user created automatically and then Resend invitation, it instantly receives it.

Can someone explain this issue?

Thank you,

Hi @devschool_mihaib

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you are unable to obtain the invitation link while creating a guest user from Azure subscriptions in IAM, but you can get the invitation link when creating a guest user in Microsoft Entra ID.

As you mentioned, if the invitation link is not sent while using Azure subscriptions, you can still invite the external user manually. To do this, right-click and copy the invitation link from the notification instead of clicking on it, as clicking will start the invitation process. The invitation link will look like this:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/redeem?rd=https%3a%2f%2finvitations.microsoft.com%2fredeem%2f%3ftenant%YourTenantId

Keep a note: Make sure you enter your tenant ID over the URL

You can then send this invitation link to the external user to complete the invitation process.

For the additional Information refer the below document:

Hi devschool_mihaib, I want to help you with this question.

I think we talk about two different things. When you are in the assignment process on an Azure ARM scope you need to have the identities you want to assign a role to already in the tenant.
So it's not completely clear to me, how you invite a guest user at the same time you give the assignment to it.

Assignments on Azure ARM scopes won't send notifications via emails to the identity accounts.

But as you said, when you invite the guest user via EntraID initially, the guest user will get an invitation link on the guest user's mailbox

I hope this will solve the uncertainties
