    Hi Thomaslw , I feel your pain. It's not possible for external users to access it in the shared with me section.

     

    As you said, they would need to click the link in the email to access the report. Alternatively they could bookmark the link/have the link saved in a dashboard tile and access it from there.

     

    You've come across one of the biggest downfalls of Power BI in my opinion.

Hi! I agree it's bad that we can't share reports with external users the same way that with collegues. I hope that changes in the future

 

Thanks for the response
