Cross-tenant Access Settings Organization Outbound Direct Settings Changed

// In User & Groups and in Applications, the following "AccessType" values in columns PremodifiedOutboundSettings and ModifiedOutboundSettings are interpreted accordingly
// When Access Type in premodified outbound settings value was 1 that means that the initial access was allowed. When Access Type in premodified outbound settings value was 2 that means that the initial access was blocked.
// When Access Type in modified outbound settings value is 1 that means that now access is allowed. When Access Type in modified outbound settings value is 2 that means that now access is blocked.
