All About Cross Tenant Access type B2B Collaboration

If you are wondering about Azure AD, B2B (business-to-business) collaboration refers to users from one organization being able to securely access resources in a different organization. Furthermore, this can be done easily via Azure AD’s B2B collaboration features.

According to our experts, we can opt for one of the following types of B2B collaboration:

• Guest user collaboration

  This type of collaboration enables organizations to invite external users to access specific resources.
• Application collaboration

  This collaboration type lets organizations grant access to their applications to users from other organizations.

On the other hand, Cross-tenant access refers to the users from one Azure AD tenant being able to access resources in another Azure AD tenant. In fact, becomes necessary when two organizations have to collaborate and share resources, while not merging their Azure AD directories.

We can easily enable cross-tenant access, with Azure AD’s B2B collaboration features. In fact, it allows them to invite external users from other tenants to access specific resources or even grant access to their own applications to users from other tenants. We can do this via guest accounts.

Benefits offered by cross-tenant access with B2B collaboration

Now, let’s take a look at some of the key benefits offered by cross-tenant access with B2B collaboration:

• Security:

  Access is granted to external users only for specific resources. Additionally, their access can be revoked at any time. Also, since all authentication and authorization are handled by Azure AD, external users do not have direct access to the inviting organization’s internal systems.
• Collaboration:

  Organizations are able to work together easily by granting access to specific resources, like documents or applications, to users from other organizations.
• Compliance:

  Cross-tenant access enables organizations to comply with industry and regulatory standards by offering a secure way to share resources with external parties.

At the end of the day, the cross-tenant access type B2B collaboration is a powerful tool for organizations that have to work together and share resources without sacrificing security or compliance controls.
