External Passthrough functionality will not be applied until the external user is a registered Guest Account in SharePoint Online. All external permission requests will go to the Access Requests page in SharePoint Online, and every guest account must be approved individually. Once the invitation has been accepted by the external user, the guest is provisioned and access to shared content is available. Subsequent content shared with external users will automatically pass through since the guest account is now recognized.
External Passthrough will invite external users as far back as the date it was originally shared on the source platform. For example, content shared 5 years ago with external users will be sent an invite if approved on the guest access page in SharePoint Online.
Accounts suspended on the source platform by the Administrator will be flagged and ignored by SkySync; they will not be transferred as external users. However, any content shared to an external account such as a personal email will be transferred with the external passthrough feature.
