External user invitations in SharePoint 2013 Cloud version

Where is the feature "External user invitations" in SharePoint 2013 Cloud?

Few days back Microsoft enabled SharePoint 2013 on our cloud. Finally I am on 2013 version whew.. everything looks good :)

Damn was not able to find the feature under Site Collection feature. Not much help from my best buddy Google, after lengthy research figured out an Option "Sharing" under SharePoint-Admin site collection (the one where we create Private Site Collection) ahhhh that was easy. This Sharing option is enabled only when you select SharePoint 2013 site



Hope this saves time for someone getting below message

Sorry, you are not allowed to share this with external users


CHeeeeRS :) !

  1. Still can't find it ... How did you get to SharePoint-Admin site collection ?

  2. Works perfectly! I've spent some hours, too, on reading about enabling features and whatever else, but you got it! Thanks!!!

    To Patti:
    In a web page > top right "Admin" > "SharePoint". Select Site Collections; select one Site collection (checkbox, left side) and use the "Share" Button on top like in Amitabh's screen shot.
