Guest Users

Every guest account in the tenant is listed here with a lifecycle status worked out from its invitation state and its sign-in activity, so guests who never accepted their invitation, or who stopped using the tenant long ago, can be found and dealt with in one place.

A guest is classified as follows, with the first match winning:

Status
Meaning

Disabled

The account is blocked from signing in.

Pending Acceptance

The invitation was sent but has not been redeemed.

Never Signed In

The guest has accepted, but no sign-in has ever been recorded.

Stale

The last recorded sign-in was 90 or more days ago.

Active

The guest has signed in within the last 90 days.

Unknown

Sign-in activity could not be read, so staleness cannot be worked out.

A disabled guest is reported as Disabled whether or not it ever accepted the invitation.

Guest Status Summary

A row of cards above the table shows how many guests fall into each status, alongside a total. Clicking a status card filters the table to that status and outlines the card, clicking it again clears the filter, and clicking Total Guests clears it as well.

Guests with a status of Unknown are counted in Total Guests but have no card of their own.

Filters

Filter
Shows

Active guests

Guests who have signed in within the last 90 days.

Table Details

The most recent sign-in recorded for the guest, taking the latest of its interactive, non-interactive and successful sign-in times.

The flyout adds the user principal name, the object ID, the raw invitation state and when it last changed, each of the three sign-in times separately, and any sponsors recorded against the guest.
