I tried adding guest users in bulk to AAD group, please check if you followed below steps:

  • Ensure that you have guest users in your tenant.

  • To invite guest users in bulk, make use of UserInviteTemplate and add email address of guest users in it and upload it.

  • To check whether that bulk operation is successful or not, Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Users -> Bulk Operation Results -> See the status

  • Filter the users based on 'Guest' Usertype and check guest users.

  • To add these guest users to AAD group, create one group in Azure AD -> Groups

  • To add guest users as members of that group, follow below: Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Groups -> Members -> Bulk Operations -> Import Members

  • Download GroupImportMembersTemplate and add object IDs of guest users in that excel and upload the file.

  • You can also add UPNs of guest users in place of object IDs.
  • Users added successfully, see the snapshot below:

If you add any other instead of Object ID or UPN of guest users in that excel, bulk operation will fail with error like below:

No user with this user name/object ID exists in this group. Change the user name/object ID in the file to match the user name/object ID of an existing user in this group and resubmit your request.

How to add Guest Users in AAD individually:

  1. Go to https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r#/groups
  2. Page should display in two columns: "Groups I own" (left-hand column) and "Groups I'm in (right-hand column)
  3. Select the name of the Azure Active Directory Group that you own, that you want to add a user to
  4. Click on the " " at the end of the table (table headers include: "Members" (Names), "Role", "ID" (email), " ")

You can add guest users individually by email ID or name
