Enable external sharing in Microsoft Teams at IU
At Indiana University, you can request a team in Microsoft Teams with or without external sharing enabled. To enable external sharing if your team was initially requested without it:
Note:
When requesting an external sharing change request, specify what level of sharing is needed:
- Disabled: No external sharing
- ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly: Only external users that are already in your Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
- ExternalUserAndGuestSharing: Sharing files and folders with an anonymous link
- ExternalUserSharingOnly: External users need to log in or enter a verification code
If your Teams or SharePoint site was created via Secure Storage and you are an owner or co-owner, you can manage sharing at Manage Your Storage Locations. Changing the setting from "no External Sharing" to "enabled External Sharing" will change the setting from "Disabled" to "ExternalUserAndGuestSharing".
- Contact the Support Center to request external sharing.
- Once external sharing has been enabled, go to your site in SharePoint Online and choose the gear icon in the top right (next to your profile icon).
- From this menu, select . On the "Site Permissions" page, choose .
- From the top ribbon, select .
- At the top of the resulting page, check the following boxes:
