External B2B users access

Is it possible for a licensed external B2B user to grant access to other users in their organisation?

So, if organisation (A) published a report (R) to the Service and then gives user (U) from organisation (B) a member level access to the report. Would it possible for (U) to grant access to the report (R) to other users in (B)?

 

The premise here is that anyone with a member's access privilege can add other users and share report, according to this article 

 

Thanks

    Hi there

    I think whilst this might appear possible the reason is that the external user does not have access to the customers Azure Active Directory to be able to pick and enable them.

    So currently not possible.

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    According to the official document:

    By default, Azure AD B2B Guest users can't access workspaces. Power BI admins can allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization. The enabled Guest users are able to access workspaces to which they have permission.

     

    Only the Power bi admin can give the external user with a license, which means it's not possible for the external guest to give the re-license.

      Thanks for your reply.

      So guest users cannot themselves add other guest users? 

       

      Is there a possibility or feasibility that this feature could be implemented in near future updates to Power BI service?

      Hi,

       

      Further to previous message, wants clarification for the following.

      An external user with Azure B2B access wants to connect dataflows using PBI Dataflows connector from PBI Desktop.

      But not able to do so. Is it a limitation for External users even though Contributor/admin access provided from app workspces.

       

      Regards,

      Bala
