Connect directly to a report through mobile app

[Nikos_Korompos]

Hi community!

I have shared a report to a member out of our organisation.He can see the report through laptop and through the mobile app.The problem is that when he connects through the mobile app, with his account, he can not see the notifications and the reports that i've sent to him.He has to follow the link through the e-mail that i have sent to him,and then he connects as a guest through the mobile app.Is there a way when he opens the app and connect immidiately to the report?

Hi @Nikos_Korompos ,

What type account you shared? If you mean external users, they can only use email link to access shared contents.

Maybe you can take a look at following link to use azure b2b to add him to your organization.

Distribute Power BI content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B

After these, he can direct view these shared contents.

Hi Xiaoxin Sheng,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I tried to follow the steps on the linked that you pasted, but as you can see below there is not the choice of tenant settings.What should i do?

Hey @Nikos_Korompos ,

To view report/dashboard shared from external tenant, the user must have a link to the item.

This link can be kept inside of Power BI (inside another report) or outside of Power BI (sharing email for example).

See more detailes here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-mobile-apps-now-support-azure-ad-b2b-guest-users/

There is no tenant switcher in the app that lets you switch b/w your home tenant and other tenants, you can only do that using a link.

Hi Maya,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I was just trying to find out if there is a way to avoid the step of the link, because it is much faster to open the report directly through the mobile app.
