How to add new users from different domains
Hi everybody,
I just downloaded my Power BI Report Server and created some reports.
Now I want to add some new users to see them, but I have issues: my users have not the same domain (at the moment, I don't even know one of the user's domain, while I know domain of the others). Can I add them? Even if they don't have the same domain? Can I create many folders and set that users with a certain domain can enter only a certain folder?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Nick - PBIRS today supprots windows authentication, so users will need to be part of the domain (or the domains will need be federated). If you are looking for users to access outside of windows auth, you can look at custom authetication or the use of web application proxy:
Hi Jon-Heide and thanks for answering
Well I don't really understand what it means, I am not so expert and I still am in trouble. I would like to share my works in PBIRS to someone whose domain I don't know.
Thank you so much

Hi Anonymous,
in this case when you need to share reports to users, how are not in the same domain, you need a custom authentication, look at the link from Jon-Heide
I think you must implement the feature from a developer with knownledge of IIS.
