PURPOSE / BOUNDARY

What GuestPreflight helps a team decide

Microsoft 365 managed-service providers and tenant teams preparing external collaborators for identity or sharing-policy changes.

  • Bring legacy sharing method, Entra guest presence, active-link count, Conditional Access readiness, and sponsorship into one review.
  • Prioritize external collaborators whose current access path is most likely to need intervention.
  • Preserve the reason behind each finding without changing guests, links, or tenant policy.

BUYER CHECK / RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM

When GuestPreflight is worth evaluating

Signals the current process is breaking down

  • External users still depend on legacy sharing links or one-time-passcode access before a tenant change.
  • Guest objects exist without an accountable sponsor or with uncertain Conditional Access readiness.
  • An MSP needs a tenant-by-tenant intervention queue instead of manually joining several exports.

Who it is for

Microsoft 365 managed-service providers and tenant teams preparing external collaborators for identity or sharing-policy changes.

Who it is not for

Not for automated guest creation, link revocation, Conditional Access deployment, or a complete identity-governance replacement.

FROM MANUAL REVIEW TO OUTPUT

A repeatable path to a decision

Why the current manual approach fails

Sharing reports, Entra guest exports, sponsor records, and policy readiness usually live in different views. A spreadsheet join can identify email matches but rarely preserves why a collaborator needs attention. GuestPreflight evaluates the relevant signals together and produces a reasoned queue.

  1. Collect collaboration signals

    Assemble authentication method, guest presence, link count, policy readiness, sponsor, and recency.

  2. Evaluate migration risk

    Apply explicit rules to the combined record and retain the signals behind each finding.

  3. Plan intervention

    Prioritize collaborators for validation, sponsorship, communication, or a staged access test.

USE CASES / HONEST LIMITS

Where the first release fits

Good first use cases

  • Prepare external users before moving away from legacy sharing methods.
  • Triage guest-access risk across customer tenants during an MSP project.
  • Create a review list for sponsor and Conditional Access follow-up.

Limits to review before buying

  • Available evidence depends on Microsoft Graph permissions, tenant licensing, and source-data quality.
  • The preflight cannot predict every interactive sign-in or policy-evaluation outcome.
  • No guest, link, policy, sponsor, or tenant setting is changed by the audit.

SOURCE-BACKED CONTEXT

Verify the platform facts

Microsoft’s official SharePoint and OneDrive FAQ explains how Entra B2B integration affects external sharing and one-time-passcode behavior. GuestPreflight uses that platform context for discovery, but every tenant’s current settings, licensing, rollout state, and Conditional Access policies must be verified directly.

CLEAR ANSWERS / BEFORE CONNECTION

Questions about GuestPreflight

The public sample demonstrates the diagnostic rule system. Provider permissions and customer-specific coverage are verified before a connected pilot.

What is an external-access preflight?

It is a review performed before a sharing or identity migration to find collaborators whose current access depends on legacy links, missing Entra guest objects, absent sponsors, or controls they may not satisfy.

Which Microsoft 365 signals does GuestPreflight review?

The sample evaluates authentication method, Entra guest presence, active-link count, Conditional Access readiness, sponsor presence, and recency. A connected audit depends on permissions and fields available in the customer’s Microsoft environment.

Does GuestPreflight disable links or create guest users?

No. It produces a read-only intervention queue. It does not revoke sharing, invite users, change Conditional Access, or modify tenant settings.

Does a clear result guarantee uninterrupted access?

No. Microsoft configuration, user identity, licensing, policy evaluation, and platform changes can still affect access. The report is a prioritization aid, not a guarantee or a substitute for a staged migration test.

PAID VALIDATION GATE

The connected edition opens after a feasibility review.

We verify API coverage, permissions, data retention, and the exact paid workflow before connecting production accounts. This keeps early customers out of an unsafe beta.

Indicative launch pricing: From $199 per migration audit. Final scope, price, tax, deliverables, and refund terms are agreed before paid work begins.
