Loops components with external users

Hi All, I have thought of a work around solution which may work if you have ~20 people you need to use.

It's a bit long winded but:

• set up a user in 365 admin center for each user you need to add.
• purchase a free trial for a 365 product (so they get a mail box)
• invite each user into your loops workspace
• give each user access the log in for one of the temp accounts
• have them sign in to OWA and click on the link
• when the trial is coming to a close, purchase a trial for one of the other 365 products.
• I believe with all the e3, e5, business basic etc trials, you could activate trial licenses for ~6 months. hopefully by them MS will have solved this issue.

*again, this is not ideal, but if you do want to use Loops, this should work.

If your company is in a position to just purchase licenses for each user, than of course that is a better option. However I am an unregistered NGO and purchasing 21 licenses for my volunteers just for loops seems silly. I will of course look in to purchasing licenses once I am a registered NGO and have set up as a non for profit in Azure

Hi Jake,

Could you please share a link to the roadmap item.

This is key for us, like so many other users.

Many thanks

Hi LaurenPea, Thanks for your question. We are working on this feature and we'll be sharing more information with admins in the coming weeks.

I am looking for an update on this as well. This makes the product unusable for me.

Hello,

Waiting for loop component to be collaborated for external user.
