Export -PowerPoint - Embed Live Data available for B2B guest users ?
Hi ,
In my tenant, there are B2B guest user invited, I have power BI premium capacity and share the reports to the B2B guest users via Premium Workspaces.
Recently, I noticed that there is a new festure released from Power BI Service, user can select to connect to the live report data from Power Point by clicking the export -> powerpoint menu:
Previously, there is only one option "Embed an image" .
The B2B users can select this option to embed the live data, however, when open the PowerPoint, there is error displayed:
The error details:
Http Status Code: 401
Error Code: GroupNotAccessible
Error Time: 2022-07-12T02:47:55.629Z
Cluster URI: https://WABI-AUSTRALIA-EAST-A-PRIMARY-redirect.analysis.windows.net
Api URI: https://api.powerbi.com
Build: 13.0.18578.34
Office Host: PowerPoint
Platform: PC
PPT Version: 16.0.15330.20230
The B2B user has M365 enterprise subscription in his home tenant and the B2B guest user can embed the live data from the report in his home tenant successfully.
In my tenant there is no M365 subscription. Is this the problem ? or is the B2B user type a problem ?
"Embed an image" works totally fine for all the B2B users. If the "Embed live data " does not work for B2B guest users, I want to check whether this "Embed live data " option can be disabled ? But I still need the "Embed an image" option enabled.
Below is my tenant settings currently, kindly FYI
Thank you

Hi WendyDUFE ,
Thank you for providing such detailed information. Based on your error message, the error appears “GroupNotAccessible“，so I think it may be due to insufficient permission.
Please check that the account used by PowerPoint has reporting permissions.
You need to be logged in to an account that has permissions to the report on PowerPoint. If the account does not have permission, a 401 code will be returned.
You can also through another way as the following shows to make sure people in your organization can get access.
For detailed information please refer to this doc : Tell a story with your data. Announcing the all-new Power BI integration for PowerPoint. | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

Thanks Selina,
I have went through the link you provided, also I double confirmed that the user has the report access from Power BI Portal.
Two Power BI Portal,
A is home tenant power bi portal
B is B2B guest tenant power bi portal (Premium Workspace)
User can export - > powerpoint-> embed live data successfully for case A
however, even though user can view the report for case B (has access to the report), but encounter the issue
Does the B2B guest user type matter ?
Http Status Code: 401
Error Code: GroupNotAccessibleBelow is my account snapshot
below is the workspace snapshot, you can see it is premium capacity workspace
Anonymous hi Selina, any updates here?
Hi WendyDUFE ，
It took me a while to think about your question. I was wondering if you have tried embedding the PPT for users in the organization, not guest users, and if it works?
And I've been thinking about the "GroupNotAccessible" error, do you share reports to guest users by group or by individual user?Best regards,

Anonymous Hi Selina,
The user in the organization do not have the M365 subscription, it does not work .
Report is shared to guest users via Security group (by first inviting users to my organization as B2B guest user).
BTW, If the "Embed live data " does not work for B2B guest users, I want to check whether this "Embed live data " option can be disabled ? But I still need the "Embed an image" option enabled.
Not a function available yet. I've submitted the idea, please vote:

If you want to embed the report in your personal workspace, should be fine I think. You can refer to above link about more details.
Now my issue was resoved as Microsoft mentioned that B2B user does not have this capability in the limitation section on their official learning document.
Good luck to you
