On SharePoint Online Using the "Share" button in the upper right area of the page one can invite a person to join the site. Then the person will get an email and provided the email address is linked to a Microsoft account that person may join the site. Here are two questions:
- Is there a Client Object Model equivalent to the "Share" form, thus automating the process via an external web service?
- What is the expected delay and in fact what is the reason for the delay between when the person gets the email and when they can accept the invitation without receiving an error stating "That didn't work... [email address] can't be found in the [site url] directory. Please try again later". The user was able to log in after some time.
Thanks
