HI,

We are arranging the Peoples and Groups for interna and external Users. I need to hide "everyone" in people picker so there is no chance I can give the external usres in "Owners" group.

I saw some articles in SPO, where it can easily be hidden/disabled but not in On Prem. Do we know how?

Thanks,

    According to your description, I recommend disabling this option via powershell commands which can be restored at any time.
    This is the powershell command involved: 

    $claimMgr = Get-SPClaimProviderManager

$allUser = get-spclaimprovider –identity "AllUsers"

$allUser.IsEnabled = $false

$claimMgr.Update()

    If you want to restore it, just let $allUser.IsEnabled=$true.
