    Hi SAADKHAN ,

    Please find the answer below for your questions:
    1) You can invite bulk external users to your Azure Tenant and adding them to AD groups for Power BI Workspace by using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2B collaboration. You can invite multiple guest users to your organization at the same time using the Azure portal. After the guest user accepts the invite, they become an Azure AD B2B guest user in your organization. And both the provider and consumer should have the suitable license to share / consume the contents, please find the details in the screenshot below.

    Distribute content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    2) If you want to publish the Power BI dashboard embedded into Power Page to share URL with external Users, you can buy Power BI Premium Per capacity license. This license allows you to embed Power BI content into your applications and share it with external users without requiring them to have a Power BI license. You can assign the license to the Dedicated AD groups and grant them access to the Power BI Workspace. 

    The number of licenses you need depends on the number of users who will be accessing the Power BI content. Power BI Premium P1 license can cover up to 500 users. If you have more than 500 users, you may need to buy additional licenses or upgrade to Power BI Premium P2 or P3.

    3) Power BI Premium P1 license allows up to 8 refreshes per day for each dataset. This means that each user can refresh the dataset up to 8 times a day. If you need the Power BI dashboard to refresh every 15 minutes for each user, you may need to buy additional capacity or upgrade to Power BI Premium P2 or P3.
