Hi @frob ,

To use this setting, get a subscription to Enterprise Mobility + Security and assign a license to yourself.

For specific steps, you can refer to "Block access to SharePoint for specific users" article.

Thanks,
Echo Du

Hi EchoDu

Great! I do not see the button "Accept Answer" next to your answer. (It is visible on other contributors' answers though).

How do I mark your answer as the answer?

Thanks.

Hello @frob ,

When a user is added to Office 365, the user automatically becomes a member of Everyone except external users. By default, the "Everyone except external users" group is added to the Members group on the SharePoint Team Site. It is automatically assigned a permission level of Contribute. This means all users who are added to Office 365 can view, add, update, and delete items from lists and libraries.

SharePoint Online does not support deleting specific users in the "Everyone except external users" group. This group is created by SharePoint Online system by default to contain SharePoint Online internal users. It is used for the scenario when sharing some SharePoint Online contents with all internal users instantly

If you want exclude specific users to view/access SharePoint Online site, please following steps:

  1. You can remove "Everyone except external users" group from the Members group.

  2. Add the users you want to the Members group.

Thanks,
Echo Du

Hi EchoDu

Sorry, we cannot remove the "EveryoneExcept External Users".
Can we think of any workaround like JavaScript, an Add-on App, or something else?

Thanks.

Hi EchoDu

It is not a cache issue. If you reply to my original question (instead of replying to any of the responses), then it will show me the "Accept Answer" button.

Just want to ensure that if someone else is looking for this, then they get the right answer.

Thank you.
