Audience: This article is intended for administrators and communities owners

As Syntphony is developed on top of Office 365 limitations regarding certain features in the platform could also apply to the product. In this article we introduce well known limitations related to external and guest users.

Search for people in the organization

Syntphony searches and retrieves internally people information through SharePoint search rest api as well as microsoft graph api, specifically using endpoint

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/people/

As stated in Microsoft oficial documentation this endpoint does not provide people information from different organizations the user belongs to:

Microsoft graph limitation

Regarding SharePoint search rest api the posibility to search for people in the organization being a guest user seems to be also not allowed

So these Microsoft limitations apply also to Syntphony search regarding external and guest users.
