embedded - external client does not see report
Probelm scenerio:
- Client logs into legacy portal user his/her credentials
- He/she clicks on Reports menu item
- The request redirects the user to our new reporting portal that has an iframe with PowerBI workspace embedded
- Reporting portal displays correctly but the PowerBI workspace displays error messsage "This content is not available"
Testing this internally we see the report, client does not. Is this a licensing issue? Has anybody seen this behaviour?

How did you embeded the report?
Once you tried login with his/her credentials or any external credential, what did you see? If you could see the same error, use a fiddler or Chrome->F12->network, can you get any detail info?

I used the EmbedSample project from the PowerBI site.
We were not able to reproduce the same error, even when using her own credentials and using an IP outside our domain:.
Here is what we get (below). She gets the site layout content but the PowerBI iFrame shows “This content is not available”- Eric_ZhangMicrosoft Employee
Try to ask the customer use another brower then.
By the way, the picture uploaded is in low definition, I can't see anything specific. I actually asked to capture the network traffic when load that page, bad request would be in red.

It shouldn't be a licensing issue. For example, PBI embedded visuals are used by many journalists to create interactive visuals in articles, and readers don't need any kind of license to see/interact with them.
Sorry I can't be more help but at least you can cross that off your list of possible issues
