Hi @vat2do ,

If you want to share the report with external user, please try below steps:

1. add the external user to your organization as guest user

2. share the report to the guest user

My understanding is the external user must have a power bi license to view it, is that not the case?

We used to be able to share with external resources, but now I understand those external resources must also have a Poeer BI license to view the report, is that the case? 

You could also consider using a plug'n'play white label solution like the Reporting Hub:  https://thereportinghub.com.  Deploys in minutes and no code required.   It allows you share to external users by taking advantage of Power BI Embedded without any development complexity.  You can create your own portal for sharing and delivering Power BI content.

Hi @vat2do 

 

When you are going to share a report, you must use "Specific people"
