Publishing into another tenant for the same username from power bi desktop

hi Guys,

did this method work for you?:
https://sqlkover.com/connect-to-power-bi-as-a-guest-user/ 

I am trying to publish to another tenant connected with my organization user:

i can do this easily from power bi service but there is no option in power bi desktop...

Is there any solution for this now?

Best,
Jacek

Publishing to another Power BI tenant using Power BI Desktop with a guest user account (B2B) is not natively supported as of now. You can view and interact with reports shared to you in the Power BI Service, but Power BI Desktop doesn't support publishing as a guest into another tenant.

 

What works ?

  • If you're a guest user in another Azure AD tenant (via B2B invitation), you can access shared content in the Power BI Service (https://app.powerbi.com).

  • You can switch tenants in the Power BI Service by clicking on your profile picture > "Switch Account" or "Switch Tenant".

What doesn’t work ?

  • Power BI Desktop doesn’t let you publish a report directly to another tenant if you're signed in as a guest.

  • Even if your username is the same across tenants, authentication context matters Desktop will use your home tenant, not the external one.
