+| Carefully plan your cross-tenant access and external collaboration settings | Azure AD gives you a flexible set of controls for managing collaboration with external users and organizations. You can allow or block all collaboration, or configure collaboration only for specific organizations, users, and apps. Before configuring settings for cross-tenant access and external collaboration, take a careful inventory of the organizations you work and partner with. Then determine if you want to enable [B2B collaboration](what-is-b2b.md) with other Azure AD tenants, and how you want to manage [B2B collaboration invitations](external-collaboration-settings-configure.md). || For an optimal sign-in experience, federate with identity providers | Whenever possible, federate directly with identity providers to allow invited users to sign in to your shared apps and resources without having to create Microsoft Accounts (MSAs) or Azure AD accounts. You can use the [Google federation feature](google-federation.md) to allow B2B guest users to sign in with their Google accounts. Or, you can use the [SAML/WS-Fed identity provider (preview) feature](direct-federation.md) to set up federation with any organization whose identity provider (IdP) supports the SAML 2.0 or WS-Fed protocol. |
