Can Guest Users in My Organization Use Teamflect?

Guest users cannot currently access Teamflect due to Microsoft restrictions. Learn why and alternatives.

At this time, guest users in your Microsoft tenant cannot log in or use Teamflect. This limitation is due to Microsoft’s authentication rules for third-party applications.

Only active members with valid Microsoft 365 accounts in your organization can fully access Teamflect’s features.

Why Guest Users Are Restricted

Microsoft’s current configuration prevents guest accounts from authenticating into third-party applications like Teamflect. As a result:

  • Guest users cannot log in to Teamflect

  • They cannot participate in reviews, goals, tasks, or other collaboration features

  • Only active members with valid Microsoft accounts in your organization can fully access Teamflect

What You Can Do

  • Ensure all collaborators have active internal Microsoft 365 accounts

  • Avoid assigning reviews, goals, or tasks to guest users

  • Register external stakeholders with organization-managed accounts for access

HR Use Cases

  1. Cross-Department Projects
    When adding employees from different subsidiaries, ensure they are provisioned as internal users to participate in shared goals.

  2. External Consultants or Contractors
    If consultants need access, HR or IT should provision them a secure internal account instead of relying on guest accounts.

  3. Audit and Compliance
    For audits or external HR partners, create temporary internal accounts to give them controlled access while maintaining compliance.

Looking Ahead

We understand the value of involving external stakeholders. Our product team is:

  • Monitoring Microsoft’s roadmap for guest user authentication

  • Exploring future enhancements for broader access

Final Thoughts

For now, guest users cannot use Teamflect. To ensure smooth collaboration, provide internal Microsoft accounts for all participants. This guarantees full access to performance reviews, feedback, goals, and other modules without restrictions.
