However, a service account had to be used for some Exchange features and the multi-factor authentication management. This will change with the next versions. Some M365 background information So far, some Microsoft services such as Exchange Online (EXO) could only be reached with Basic Authentication, while other (new) services such as Microsoft Graph can be used with an app. Basic Authentication relies on sending usernames and passwords with every request increasing risk of attackers capturing users´ credentials. Therefore, Microsoft recommends that you stop using Basic Authentication. Basic Authentication is superseded by *Modern Authentication *based on OAuth 2.0 that is supported for the new Microsoft 365 services. ...

Delegate365 supports working with guest users. Guest users or external users are users that are invited to the company tenant by email.

See some samples here. Invite a guest user In Delegate365, admins can invite a guest user by clicking on the “Invite guest user” icon next to the “+” icon (new user).

Delegate365 allows the separation of a single Microsoft 365 tenant with the OU concept. Every admin only sees and manages his own objects. Group OU´s allow administrators to add users from other organizational units to their managed groups without having access to manage those users. Until now, when using Group OUs, the domains had to be added to the administrators. That has now been changed with this version. Note: Article Delegate365 changelog version 8.0-Group OU’s also describes the basic concept of Group OU´s in Delegate365. This article describes the modification that the user´s domain must no longer be assigned to an administrator. ...
