Guest User Access Restrictions: Semantic Model Settings and Report Editing

Hi Anonymous 

Great questions, and you're absolutely right — the tenant settings UI has been updated, and the exact wording has changed a bit.

To allow guest users to edit and manage content, the setting you’re now looking for is:
Power BI Admin Portal > Tenant settings > “Edit and manage content in the organization”

Under that, check the “Users in external organizations” section. That needs to be enabled (either for the whole org or specific security groups) to let guest users like yourself edit reports, work with datasets, etc.

As for getting Build or Contributor access to the dataset, here’s how the workspace owner or someone with permissions can grant that:

• Go to the workspace in the Power BI service.

• Under the Datasets + dataflows tab, find the dataset in question.

• Click the three dots (⋯) next to it > Manage permissions.

• Use “Add user” to give your guest account access.

• From there, they can assign you the Build permission, which is required to interact with the dataset (e.g., configure settings or create reports).

• If more access is needed, they can add you as a Contributor in the workspace itself.
