Audience
For IT admins and IT managers who want to gain and keep control of external guest access in their organization's Microsoft 365 environment.
About External User Manager
Guest access in Microsoft 365 is easy to enable and hard to control. Users invite external collaborators, IT loses track, and over time the tenant fills up with guests nobody remembers inviting.
External User Manager gives IT admins a structured process for every step of external access: request, approval, onboarding, and offboarding. Team owners submit guest invitations through a defined workflow. IT reviews and approves before access is granted. New guests get onboarded with the right permissions from day one. Lifecycle management keeps the guest list clean. Automatic reminders go out to team owners at set intervals to confirm whether access is still needed. No manual audits, no stale accounts sitting in the tenant for years.
Everything runs inside Microsoft Teams. No external portal. Installs from the Microsoft Teams App Store. Used by IT teams managing external collaboration across 500 to 10,000+ users.

Grant permissions to specific resources, like Google Drive folders, database tables, Git repositories, and more.

Give peers, managers, and resource owners the power to approve access requests, for authorizations you can trust. With automated access requests and zero-touch provisioning, DevOps, IT, and all teams can save serious time and resources. Users can request access to what they need via Slack, Teams, Jira, or email for a seamless approval process.

Next Matter
Next Matter is the orchestration platform built for regulated financial operations. Asset managers, fund administrators, and asset servicing teams use Next Matter to run capital calls, NAV processes, investor and LP onboarding, KYC/AML, and subscriptions and redemptions — with governance built in by default, not bolted on.
Every workflow ships with maker-checker approvals, exception handling, and a timestamped audit trail out of the box, so operations teams get regulator-ready evidence without extra engineering work. Ops teams build and change their own workflows — live in days, not months — and Next Matter augments the existing stack (ledgers, CRMs, KYC providers) rather than replacing it. Role-based views give task owners, oversight teams, and external guests exactly the interface they need.
Trusted by regulated financial operations teams across Europe and the US
