Hi Team,
This has been tested with a guest user account and is working.
Can you please confirm if guest users are supported for Linux VM's using SSH authentication with Azure Active Directory?

@bally-singh Thanks for your feedback! We will investigate and update as appropriate.
@bally-singh Yes, guest users are supported for Linux VM's using SSH authentication with Azure Active Directory. You can use Azure AD guest accounts to log in to Linux VMs that are configured for Azure AD authentication. To do this, you need to invite the guest user to your Azure AD tenant and assign them the Virtual Machine Administrator Login or Virtual Machine User Login role on the resource group that contains the VM and its associated virtual network, network interface, public IP address, or load balancer resources
For you information Please refer the below in documented link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/howto-vm-sign-in-azure-ad-linux
That's brilliant @ManoharLakkoju-MSFT.
Is it possible to update the link so that it advises that guest users are supported?
Thanks for your quick response, much appreciated.
@bally-singh I'm going to assign this to the document author so they can take a look at it accordingly
@janicericketts Can you please check and add your comments on this doc update request as applicable.
Added a statement to the link in Next steps to reference both users and guest users in PR 253610.
