With this update, admins of Yammer networks aligned to native mode can enable external collaboration so that Yammer community admins may invite guests to a community.
By default, guest access is turned off.
- You can enable and disable guest access on a per community basis.
- You can control which users can invite guests into the tenant.
- You can easily configure email domains to allow and disallow guests.
- Rich audit logs allow you to review all guest actions in your tenant.
To allow guest access, go to Yammer network admin center > Security Settings > External messaging settings.
- After you enable guest access, community admins can invite guests to the communities to facilitate rich collaboration inside the community.
- You can also turn off guest access at any time. Turning off guest access prevents community admins from being able to add new guests.
Availability:
The feature moves from public preview to general availability in late March.
