Invite Government Cloud users to your Viva Glint tenant

Microsoft Viva Glint is available for commercial tenants but isn't available for Government Community Cloud (GCC) or Government Community Cloud High (GCC High) entities. For organizations with Viva Glint installed to a commercial tenant, admins can invite users that need dashboard access from GCC or GCC High cloud tenants as B2B collaboration users. Consider Viva Glint survey access methods, Microsoft Entra configuration steps, data upload requirements in the Viva Glint app, and the B2B guest sign-in experience described in this article when inviting GCC or GCC High users to your commercial tenant.

Note

Cross-tenant synchronization and multitenant organization don't currently support cross-cloud setups.

Survey access methods

Limit the number of users you need to invite to a commercial tenant by using a survey access method that doesn't require authentication for survey takers. Choose from personalized links or attribute-based access:

• Personalized survey link
• Attribute-based access

Only users that require dashboard access need to be invited as B2B collaboration users.
