unable to add users to my workspace

Hi, I have powerbi pro on my computer and have full access to all things PowerBI pro, but I want to add someone who isn't part of my workspace or workgroups (I am a home user).

I tried to add someone by using their email address but was unable to do so (the "Add" button stayed as disabled when I tried to add them. What am i missing?

Hi, @StevenT 

Thank you for your reply. Yes, you are correct. Your user must have a license that is the same as yours or higher.

Your solution is so great Bibiano_Geraldo 

HI, @StevenT 

As Bibiano_Geraldo showcased, you'll need to invite users from your other domains as external users in the Azure admin portal before adding it in the Power BI service.

Power BI service checks to see if you have a current mailbox for this domain, and if you don't, you can't add it as much as your current state.

Question, all users need an individual license to view anything in a PBI Workspace or App, am I correct?
