Hi Oliver_L ,

 

Refer this document, URL filters are supported in some embedding scenarios and not in others.

If you're sharing reports from a shared workspace, consider creating an App Workspace specifically for external users. This allows better control over permissions and sharing. Publish the reports to the App Workspace and share the app with external users.

 

 Considering your scenario involves sharing with external parties, a more reliable approach might be using Power BI's "Embed for your customers" feature. This method allows embedding Power BI content, including paginated reports, into applications for external users without requiring them to authenticate with Power BI credentials.

Refer: Power BI embedded analytics overview - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hi Neeko,

 

Thanks for your reply. Yes, we are using the APP to share these paginated reports with external parties.  The problem is the URL link is working well inside the organization, but couldn't opened by external parties even after we add them to the APP audience list.

Not sure why this happened.

 

Thanks
