Add Externally Shared Reports to "Shared with Me" Section in Mobile App Without Switching Tenants

[zachary_hill]

When an external user opens the Power BI app and logs in, by default he/she is connected to his/her default tenant. The user has to somehow force a tenant switch using one of the methods outlined in this article (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-mobile-apps-now-support-azure-ad-b2b-guest-users/) to access the report being shared to him/her from the external tenant. Ideally the app would be smart enough to look for content shared with the user outside of the current tenant in the “Shared with me section” so he/she could Favorite the report and not always have to refer back to a URL (that is external from the app) to access.

Microsoft, please make this a reality. This functionality is required by many service organisations.

Yes! And I would add that one should be able to browse to shared workspaces in that tenant when using the 'Publish" feature in PBI Desktop

This is an old idea, but still relevant and should get more votes. And the idea should not only be for shared reports with external guest.

With different customer we have multiple scenario's where customers share reports with external guest, like investment partners. When sharing a link to a report or to an Power BI app, there's a possibility to add these to the favorites. But what happens is that the report, dashboard or app is added to the favorites on the external tenant and not in their own tenant.

So the idea is, that when adding a report, dashboard, app, etc. in an external tenant to favorites, the item should (also) be visible in the favorites list of the guest in their own tenant.
