Row Level Security - External User
- Hi there
You would first need to add the external user as part of your AAD, and then assign them access to your dataset, by going into the dataset settings and then clicking on Security.
Here are more details on how to do this. Scroll down to the section, which will explain how to achieve this.

if it's pointed to Azure Analysis services you need to use CustomData(), but if you were using SSAS on premise, then it's UserPrincipalName, just the format/syntax of the external user is different for Azure AD vs AD (FYI).
- GilbertQHi there
I would just like to correct if you are using SSAS On Premise it does not know or understand the UserPrincipalName() and only works with Domain\UserName
If you do have an SSAS On Premise database, then you need to use the mapping feature in the Gateway configuration.
If you are using Azure Analysis Services, then it will understand and you can use the UserPrincipalName()Actually, we do not map any user when using SSAS. We use email, which is equivalent to UPN. We have been working with customers since 2016 on SSAS and also using AAS custom data.
Hello,
Will they require to have Power BI Pro License?
We are dealing with an issue here, hence the questions.
We have publised a report using our Power BI Pro license, to 15 users in our organization.
Some of the users (out of the 15) have Power BI Pro license, and they are able to view the shared report.
User who do not have the Power BI Pro Licesne, they are unable to view the report,
What should be done?
Thanks

Yes, it does require some sort of PBI license. Either backed by Premium capacity or Pro licenses for internal users. The customer can have their own Pro license as well.
