Is it possible to login with external guest user in Power BI Desktop

[geiratatea]

Hi!

I've got this question from a customer. If I as a Power BI Pro user on my tenant is invited and has been given access to a different Power BI service Workspace, and is able to watch reports and so on, is it possible to use my guest user myemail_xxx.com#EXT#@othercompany.onmicrosoft.com, and use that to login on Power BI Desktop to be able to change and publish reports to that workspace?

Or is this restricted to only the Power bi service tenant users?

regards Geir

Hi! I have an additional question to this case. How about power bi data flows which are in the same workspace? In Power BI desktop you can add data flows with a logged as a user. And I wonder can I log in as a external user on a customer workspace where I have an external us?er as admin, but I am logged in as my Power BI Pro license user on Power BI Desktop?

Thank you for giving me that reference documrntation. It was as I though. for other readers I put this sentences from that document

Some experiences are not available to guest users who can edit and manage content in the organization. To update or publish reports, guest users need to use the Power BI service, including Get Data, to upload Power BI Desktop files. The following experiences aren't supported:

• Direct publishing from Power BI desktop to the Power BI service
• Guest users can't use Power BI desktop to connect to service datasets in the Power BI service
