Guest user in Shifts
Would like to add guest users in Shifts as they work alongside other team members.

Due to other priorities, this has been moved to the backlog. We will update you as we evaluate in the future.

The ability for B2B guest users to access and interact with the Shifts app is essential.

We have part time employees that aren't given email account in our organization and can only be added to Teams as Guests. This leaves me with myself and 1 other employee to add to Shifts, when my team consists of 6 people. Would be super beneficial to be able to add guests in Shifts. For such a small team, using this platform would be way better than paying for a scheduling app

In the age of COVID, knowing that organizations that are generally not integrated with each other have become so, one would think that Microsoft would understand the importance of Shifts being available to guests to an organization. There are so many projects for which this WOULD HAVE been useful, but I am guessing that now this will be left on the back burner. One would think that a company such as Microsoft would understand the need for interagency operability, especially when the events of the past year created a rapid need for such. An update (one that is not 18 months old) and forward progress would seem to be in order. Thanks, in advance.

This has been on the back-burner for far too long now. Orgs are crying out for better collaboration efforts with guests - it is far too limited right now.
The ability to add guests in the shift system is of utmost importance to a lot of companies, but Microsoft don't seem to be able to update user voice when this will be available. This was put on the back-burner 2 1/2 years ago. C'mon Microsoft, this is ridiculous now...

Would love this ability. As a volunteer driven organization. This would be such an incredibly helpful feature to keep people in our Microsoft Environment.

Please, add guest's access to Shifts. It would be of great value for small groups of volunteers such as our one!

Has this been revisted? It is really valuable function for nonprofit organizations to manage schedules for volunteers and other partners outside of our organization.

I found a workaround for the time being. As an owner of a Team channel you can modify/add/delete the types of requests in the Settings tab of Shifts. I added each of our outside guest names as a request Type. The downside of this is that someone in the organization that is in that shifts channel can then select from the list of names in the type of Requests and a note the type of Request. We primarily use Shifts as a calendar view so peoples within a Teams channel can see if people are out of office

Any update on this? We have outside developers that are included in a Team Channel and we want a way to track their time.

I am not really certain at this point in the COVID pandemic response what else can be developed that is more important than the ability to collaborate outside of one's organization. From state to local entities and everyone in between, we need this ability sooner rather than later. We have a multi-jurisdictional task force that needs the ability to work in one platform - we all have Teams, but we have a difficult time working together because of this guest access restriction.
Further, the need to add guests to Shifts will facilitate the multi-jurisdictional approach of being able to deliver vaccines to our citizens in a more timely and efficient manner.
Thanks in advance for taking another look at this - sooner rather than later.

We would like to be able to add guest users to Shifts for a new service we are launching. Due to the large volume and temporary nature of the roles they will not have company email addresses. Is there an update on when this might be developed? We will require from July 2021.

I would like to add guests to shifts as not all members of my team have an internal email address. Some have hotmail, outloook, gmail etc.
