When you add a Team Folder to your Tenant, you can add Collaborators from any user source. However, careful attention must be paid to what you add to the Permissions Tab under the Team Folder Settings. Collaborators Added to Team Folder "Billing" No Users Added to Folder Permissions It is normal for there to be no users listed under the "Folder Permissions" tab. All Collaborators will have full access if no one is listed here. Once a user has been added to the permissions settings, any collaborators that aren't in "Permissions" will loose access to the folder. So if any users are there, you must add all the "Collaborators" to the "Folder Permissions" to ensure access. The following video demonstrates how this works.

When adding users from an Active Directory (AD) connection, you can take advantage of the Home Folder setting in a user's AD Profile settings.  First you must connect your Tenant to their AD. To take advantage of this Home Folder setting, do not add the user to the Tenant before setting up the AD side . Also make sure the Group Policy settings are adjusted before adding as well. Click "Edit" and enter your Domain Controller or LDAP Server Address (myhost:389). Enter your AD admin credentials. "APPLY" these settings. Now make sure you have content for this user in a local network location so it can be connected to that user's AD properties. Now make sure your AD properties for this user are setup to take advantage of the Home Directory option. In the user's properties choose the Profile tab. Notice that I have the Profile tab active, and in the Home Folder settings for this user, I've entered a network location of their cont...

Giving a Guest User Edit Control of Your File(s) When you need an outside user (guest) to edit a file for you, it's easy to provide access to that file. However, sharing a file by itself does not give you the expected result. Share Options - Edit/Full-Control Access When you share a file, the guest user can view the file, and depending on your share settings, they can download for editing as well. Don't Do This - Share a Folder Instead But when they attempt to drag-and-drop the file back into the tenant "File Browser", they won't have access. In order for them to have the ability to update a file and automatically update it when they close the editor, the file must be contained within a folder that you have shared. This gives them the appropriate level of access necessary to make updates. Follow these steps to share a file for editing with a guest user: Create a folder Put the file(s) you want to share into that folder Share the folder with...

Single Sign-On is available using SAML authentication. There are two parties involved in this function. One is the IdP (the identity provider) The other is SP (service provider) A user will be registered with the identity provider and use the service from service provider. The setup described here will allow the service provider (the Cluster Server) to get access to credentials from the identity provider. In the following example, we use a public IdP (i.e., AzureAD), and the SP will be the Cluster Server. This can also be accomplished with a different IdP provider. In a multi-tenant Cluster Server deployment each tenant may want to have its own SSO service. Therefore, the Single Sign On is a per-tenant setting. Step 1: Register the Cluster Server at IdP Login as the Tenant Admin and navigate to Group Policy > Account & Login > Single Sign On. IdP will need to register the Cluster Server as a service provider (SP) by importing the SP’s meta data. You will find the...
