Reviewing the default user permissions may also help you determine the type of user you need to create. See the [Set default user permissions](users-default-permissions.md) article for more information.

Authentication methods vary based on the type of user you create. Internal guests and members have credentials in your Azure AD tenant that can be managed by administrators. These users can also reset their own password. External members authenticate to their home Azure AD tenant and your Azure AD tenant authenticates the user through a federated sign-in with the external member's Azure AD tenant. If external members forget their password, the administrator in their Azure AD tenant can reset their password. External guests set up their own password using the link they receive in email when their account is created.
