Admin access to workspace from outside of your organization does not allow you to share reports

[AdrianPO]

I am working in an organization that has 2 separate Azure tenants. We manage our Power BI licenses from the tenant that is not native for majority of the users.

There are few comments I have before moving on to the subject:

• The fact that the users can log in with their organizational account instead of having a separate account only for Power BI is OK.
• The lack of the left pane can be tolerated and maybe even somehow eases the use of the reports and dashboards.
• Once logged in, the user cannot:
• see all the reports shared with him from different organizations. - That's an inconvenience.
• switch between organizations as easily as in Azure. - That's an inconvenience.

Now to the point.

I have 3 accounts:

• 1st tenant admin 
• 1st tenant member
• 2nd tenant member

The problem I have is that; even though the 2nd tenant member has the admin rights to the workspace on the 1nd tenant, he cannot submit any reports to this workspace.

• Clicking publish on Power BI Desktop level shows the workspaces native to the account, making the beforementioned workspace invisible.
• Clicking "+ New/Upload a file" in Power BI Service does nothing, no pop-up, no information, no error message that I could share here.

Hi, @AdrianPO 

According to my research, the problems you mentioned seems to be explained in the official document of Microsoft:

For the first point, it says that publishing to the outside workspace is not supported:

For the second point, it says that the guest users are supported to use the “Get data” in the bottom left to upload file to the Power BI service:
