I have a Site Collection in our SharePoint online tenant. I wanted to give Read permission for everybody in our organization. so in Site Permissions I Clicked on Grant Permissions
and typed NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users
and clicked ok. However nobody has access to the site collection yet. I thought I have to add NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users
to the members group but still nobody has access to the Site Collection.

Are you using ADFS for authenticating users?– AanchalCommented May 27, 2014 at 8:21

1NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users will only work on-prem. If you type in "All" you should get suggestions to the correct claims user token for all users, for example "All authenticated users" :)– Robert LindgrenCommented May 27, 2014 at 8:23

2I got two suggestions, All users(windows) and All users(Membership). which one is right?– MedesCommented May 27, 2014 at 8:25

1Probably membership, depends on your setup with authentication. Also this quote " put in a support ticket with Microsoft and found out that our users (who all are external to our network and use Windows Live IDs to authenticate) cannot be included in any kind of "all users" authentication. I have to enter them all individually into the Visitors group." from community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/79019.aspx seems to indicate that you can not add external users in any "All...", just a side note– Robert LindgrenCommented May 27, 2014 at 8:28

You can provide permissions to following groups :
All Authenticated Users: All user accounts which can be recognized by SharePoint Online, both for internal and external.
All Users (Windows) : User accounts from Federated domains.
All Users (membership): All user accounts from Office 365 Online Services.

4To add to this, there's also 'Everyone' and 'Everyone except external users'– wjervisCommented May 27, 2014 at 12:17
Everyone
was what worked for me
EDIT Everyone is a default group that contains all authenticated and guest users that can connect to your network.
