Local Administrator Technical Guidance

This document provides an outline of the key features offered by the products and any known limitations. The document has been produced to support health and care organisations make decisions about their IT roadmap and use of the NHSmail Office 365 Hybrid.

The NHSmail Office 365 (O365) Hybrid Service (“The Service”) allows health and care organisations to access Office 365 services using their existing NHSmail identity.

It is complemented by the NHSmail Office 365 Hybrid Service Functional Comparison, which provides further detail on the anticipated service design and the key differences between the Hybrid Service and Office 365 ‘off the shelf’.

This document is intended to support organisations that already have an O365 tenant but wish to migrate onto the NHSmail O365 Hybrid tenant.

This document provides guidance for Local Administrators that want to co-ordinate the configuration of an Azure Federated Group Import with the NHSmail Office 365 Hybrid tenant on behalf of an external organisation.

The NHSmail service is now integrated with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Microsoft Office 365 (O365).

Azure business-to-business (B2B) allows you to securely share Office 365 (O365) data and collaborate across O365 applications with guest users from external organisations. This guidance document provides detail around how the Azure B2B process works and how to set up guest user accounts.

This document outlines the information governance considerations for organisations in relation to the local implementation of the Microsoft NHSmail Office 365 collaboration capabilities.
