User Attributes

Checks that every enabled guest user has at least one sponsor.

A sponsor is the person or group responsible for a guest: they can be asked to review the guest's access, and entitlement management notifies them about the guest. Guests without a sponsor have nobody accountable for them, so they tend to keep their access long after the project that needed it has ended.

Remediation action

1. In the Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Entra ID > Users, filter by User type = Guest, and open each guest listed below.
2. Select Edit properties > Job information, add the employee or group responsible for the guest under Sponsors (up to five), and save.
3. For many guests, the Update-MsIdInvitedUserSponsorsFromInvitedBy command in the Microsoft Identity Tools module (MSIdentityTools) sets each guest's sponsor to the person who invited them.
4. Make sponsors part of how guests arrive: when an invitation names no sponsor, the inviter becomes the sponsor.
