BAU Functionality – Bug Fixes
- 46462: B2B – ProcessGuestUserAttestationRequest failed, user does not have required permission error despite user having correct permissions
After this bug fix, a user will now be able to approve a guest access extension request successfully when they have admin permissions to multiple organisations, or the user has the B2B_approver and the Invite Guest User role with Global Admin permissions.
- 68682: User Policy error: There are only x ‘{org Add-on Licence which is already applied}’ Licences available for this organisation, a maximum of x users can be added to the policy.
After this bug fix a User Policy will be updated successfully without error when a User Policy is using a fully consumed subscription (total licences = consumed licences), and an admin user applies an additional subscription with sufficient capacity.
- 89693: Admins unable to create new user/shared mailboxes due to the error “Mailbox creation limit has been reached” for some orgs
After this bug fix admin users will be able to create new User/Shared mailboxes without seeing the Mailbox Creation Limit error. The correct mailbox creation value will also be displayed in Portal.
- 90985: Sharing externally from SPO fails due to users not being added to correct online security group when assigning the Guest Inviter role
After this bug fix, when a user is an owner of a SharePoint whose external sharing is on and the same user is added to a guest inviter group in the portal, the user will be assigned with the Guest Inviter role in the portal and will be added to the groups allowing the user to share externally from SPO to allowed domains.
