The correct answer to the given scenario is D. Configure the Guest Access settings in the Microsoft Teams admin center.
Explanation: In the given scenario, the company plans to work with an external contractor who needs access to the Research & Development Team's Design channel. To provide access to the external contractor, a guest account has been created. However, the contractor is unable to post to the Design channel. This issue occurs because the default guest access settings in Teams do not allow guests to post messages in channels.
To enable the contractor to post to the Design channel, the guest access settings need to be configured in the Teams admin center. The Guest Access settings control how guests can access Teams and what they can do within Teams.
To configure the Guest Access settings in the Microsoft Teams admin center, follow these steps:
- Sign in to the Microsoft Teams admin center with your admin credentials.
- In the left navigation pane, click on Org-wide settings.
- Click on Guest access.
- In the Guest access settings, ensure that the Allow guest access in Teams toggle is set to On.
- Under the Permissions section, select the appropriate settings to allow guests to create and update channels, add and remove team members, and edit or delete sent messages.
- Ensure that the Allow all domains or the Allow specific domains toggle is set to On, depending on the organization's requirements.
- Click on Save to save the changes.
After configuring the Guest Access settings in the Microsoft Teams admin center, the external contractor should be able to post messages in the Design channel of the Research & Development Team.
Option A, Configure the Global Meeting policy in the Microsoft Teams admin center, is not relevant to the given scenario as it relates to meeting policies and not guest access. Option B, Configure the external collaboration settings in Azure Active Directory, is also not relevant to the given scenario as it relates to external collaboration and not guest access. Option C, Configure the Default Teams App Permission policy in the Microsoft Teams admin center, is not relevant to the given scenario as it relates to app permissions and not guest access.
