Our Azure DevOps account is connected to our Azure AD.
If a new developer from a contractor is starting in a project I would
Go to the correct project
Click Invite and enter the persons email
People invited like this never get the invitation email
We now have to go into Organization settings and manually resend the invite
Is this some setting in our Azure Ad or is it bug?
Looks like for now you need to use Add User button in Organization settings or Resent Invite button to make sure the email can be sent successfully to specific user.
Here's the report about the behavior you met in our User Voice forum, the team there would help to check that. You can follow that to get notifications if there's any update.

Create an organization and a project using a Microsoft account
Invite another Microsoft account to the project
An email goes to the invitee with a link to join the project
When the invitee tries to join, the following error is displayed:
401 - Uh-oh, you do not have access.
Your account, <invitee_email_id> is not authorized to view this page.
Make sure the URL is correct and your account has access.

You may request access by contacting the admin.
What am I missing? I know this question has been asked before but those answers don't help. Also, my scenario is as simple as has been described.
I have a problem and apparently it happens because before I had my business account registered as a personal account in microsoft. I have already deleted that account to keep the business account only but now when I want to add the account to my organization in DevOps it does not allow me to add it, it tells me that there is an error and already, it does not add it to the organization.
I realized that DevOps tries to add the personal Microsoft account again and not the new one I have (Microsoft 365), I don't know how I can solve that, if they could help me.
The question is also in Developer Community in Microsoft: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1096647/no-puedo-unirme-a-una-organizacion-en-devops.html
Solved the issue with these steps below:
Sign out the account and close the browser.
Please ask your Project Collection Admins (PCA) to delete and re-add the account in the organization.
Don't click the email link or use the normal browser window to access the organization.
Firstly, please open an InPrivate/incognito browser window. Then, you could access to "https://dev.azure.com/TCI-Software" directly in the InPrivate/incognito browser window.
I have just started trying to use Azure DevOps. Whenever I invite a new Team Member to join my project they do not get an email asking them to join. When they log into DevOps, they cannot see my project. I have a suspicion this is somehow related to Active Directory but I have no clue.
I have tried inviting work emails and gmails. I have check that the permissions allow notifications and project collaboration. The project shows the invited emails as part of the project.
Is it supposed to be this difficult to synch up your team?
Thanks!
You can go to Project settings, click Permissions under General, click Users tab and select the new team member you added to your project. Make the View project-level information permission is set to allow for the new member.
I cannot reproduce the email not sending out issue. You can click the 3dots at the most right of the User of the Users section in Organziation setting, and try resending invite a couple of more times.
You can check the Microsoft documents to Add users to your organization or project and Add users to a project or team
I just wanted to update this to say that 'Resend invite' under Organization Settings > Users successfully sent the email to my users. Thank you for the great suggestion. No clue why they didn't send in the first place.
We have a Powershell script that creates some guest users using the New-AzureADMSInvitation cmdlet, and its return value has a handy-dandy InviteRedeemUrl property that we include in a nice welcome email to the user to get them started with setting their account up and using our application. This works fine when inviting individual or small numbers of users.
However, we'll need to do this for many users, and carefully control when the emails go out, and I can't see any other way of retrieving this URL after-the-fact... the only option seems to be the "Resend invitation" button on the guest user in AD, which sends a Microsoft-branded email from "Microsoft Invitations" with the redeem URL, which is kind of a problem... For marketing reasons we need to put the invite redeem URL in our own welcome email, so we don't want Microsoft sending out those emails.
Is there any way to retrieve or calculate that invitation URL after the guest user had already been invited? I know I could delete and recreate the invitation itself, but that's still a manual process and I'd like to be able to create guest users in bulk first, and then retrieve those URLs in bulk once we're ready to send out emails. Especially since Azure AD itself seems to be able to fetch the redeem URLs later on via the "Resend invitation" button.
Alternatively , you can think of adding you company branding in the verification and invitation mails in azure AD.
Here is something similar you can find:-
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/active-directory-b2c-faqs#how-do-i-customize-verification-emails-the-content-and-the-from-field-sent-by-azure-ad-b2c
Basically you need to change the company branding in Azure active directory to have your custom logo and text.
Hope it helps.
We ended up modifying the AD invitation script to store the InviteRedeemUrl value in our CRM as a field on the customer record. Then later on when our Marketing team wants to start their email campaigns, they could include a reference to this field in the email template just like they would any other field. This way, we got all our analytics on click/open rates and retained complete control over the emails, including where each batch was being sent from (so customers could reply to the correct support staff member for their segment).
I'm an administrator of a Google apps domain and we recently reactivated an account which was suspended for around 6 months. Regular emails to this user are working well but emails to a group to which this user belongs does not seem to reach the user.
I tried deleting the user from the group and adding him again, but to no avail.
What might be the problem? And what is the solution to this?
You may refer with this thread. It suggested to check the email delivery setting and the spam folder. Here's another reference which might also help: Not getting a group’s emails
If you’re not getting emails from your group, check your email delivery setting:
Sign in to Google Groups.
Click My Groups.
Choose a group.
At the top right, click My settings.
Select Membership and email settings.
Check "Email delivery preference." Make sure that you haven’t selected "Don’t send email updates."
After making changes, click Save.
