Authenticate Google Users

I have a Power BI Reporting server that is currently connected to Active Directory.  All of the report users also authenticate with Active Directory.  This PBRS server is my last AD joined server.  I would like to make it a standalone server and then have my report users get authenticated with their google (G-Suite) account.  Is this possible?  Most discussions I have found on this are at least 5 years old.  I am hoping there has been some progress in this direction.  Any help will be appreciated.

PBRS

    Hi mzimb​,

    To my knowledge, there is no way to integrate Report Server with Google Workspace. It is built around Microsoft's Active Directory.

    You might be able to do an AD sync between your Microsoft tenant and Google Workspace to get Google identities in Entra, and then sync Entra to your local AD, but I've not tried this and it honestly sounds like an SSO nightmare to implement and maintain.
