3 years agoHello,
To grant external users access to view shared reports in the Power BI mobile app, you will need to follow a few steps:
- Make sure that the external users have been added to your organization as guests through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
- Go to the Power BI admin portal and click on "Tenant settings".
- Under "External sharing", make sure that the "External sharing with guests" option is set to "On".
- Under "Access packages", click on "New package" and create a package with the appropriate permissions for the external users to view the shared reports.
- Share the package with the external users by entering their email addresses in the "Enter email addresses" box.
- Ask the external users to download the Power BI mobile app and log in using their Microsoft account credentials (the same ones they used to access the shared reports in the browser).
If the users are still receiving an error message when trying to log into the app, it could be because their email domain (in this case, yahoo.com) is not recognized by your organization's Azure AD. In that case, you may need to add the domain to your Azure AD as a verified domain.

3 years agohi Adam, I'm not seeing the options you have outlined in your steps above. So for example, Under Tenant Settings there's no External Sharing in my admin portal. I also don't see any Acces packages in there either. Can you please advise of the options have changed?
