SharePoint Online: How to find all the external users in a tenant (I)!

If you need to find all your external users in SharePoint Online, you have at least two possibilities to find them:

• First one is through the SharePoint Online Administration and the User profiles management.
• Second one is through PowerShell.

In this first article I will show you the first approach:

• First, you have to navigate to the SharePoint Online Administration and click the “user profiles” link in the vertical menu.
• Then, in the user profiles page just click the “Manage User Profiles” link

• In the “Manage User Profiles” page you can use the search text box to quickly locate any external user. For instance, if you add “live” as search criteria you will get all the “Live” external users added at some time in your SharePoint Online tenant.

• In order to get all the external users through the UI, the only way to go is just by searching for all the user profiles and them do a visual inspection to locate all the external users in the tenant.
