UConn SharePoint sites can have external members. An “external user” is anyone who is not using an “@uconn.edu” email address; this includes UConn Health Center (UCHC) and UConn Foundation.
“External Sharing” is required to add external users to a SharePoint site. Reach out to techsupport@uconn.edu to turn on external sharing for your SharePoint site.
The external user needs a Microsoft account in order to join the SharePoint site. Microsoft accounts can be created and used for free until the user needs more cloud storage.

In the top-right corner, click on the access button.

By default, the user will be added with Read privilege. Click on Read to change their access level.
