Guest User Access Restrictions: Semantic Model Settings and Report Editing

Thank you.
Hi Anonymous
Thank you for reaching out microsoft fabric community forum.
Even with a Power BI Pro license and workspace admin rights, guest users from another tenant can still face restrictions. This is usually due to how the host organization's Power BI tenant settings are configured.
The most likely reasons are that guest users are limited by default, the host tenant hasn't enabled external users to manage content, or you don’t have sufficient permissions on the dataset itself (like Build or Contributor access).
To resolve this, the host organization's Power BI admin should:
-
Enable "Allow external guest users to edit and manage content" in the Power BI Admin Portal under Tenant settings.
-
Enable "Use datasets across workspaces" if applicable.
-
Confirm you’re added as a Member or Admin in a new workspace, not a classic one.
-
Grant you Build or Contributor access on the dataset.
You may need to work with the host’s admin team to review and adjust these settings
If this solution helps, please consider giving us Kudos and accepting it as the solution so that it may assist other members in the community
Thank you.
Hi Anonymous ,
Regarding the options provided, the third point of admin access have already been addressed. Concerning the first point, I previously checked the tenant settings and did not find that specific option : "Allow external guest users to edit and manage content" . It appears this setting may have been updated or replaced, and I am unsure of its current equivalent. Could you please provide guidance on the latest way to achieve this?
Also about the last option - how can this be granted ( Grant you Build or Contributor access on the dataset.)
Thanks and regards
