    Because Power BI isn't 'claims aware' like SharePoint you have setup a shadow AD group account which has access from the external network (internet) (firewalls need opening and any netscaler ports will need looking at).  External users log into a SharePoint fronted gateway with an account mapped to an internal shadow AD Group.

     

    We specify which Power BI URLs the external users can access using the shadow account in the folder security of PBI RS.

     

    Our Sharepoint team set all of this up so I don't have the technical knowledge unfortunately.  I'll see if there's any documentation I can annonomise...
