Hi @Arul 

The answer is simply NO. External users need to be added to AAD or like recently renamed Microsoft Entra ID to be able to consume a report. Please check how to use Entra B2B

You have to access the Admin center and have required admin rights. zenisekd_0-1706091730258.png

@Arul If it is enabled to add external users, then you just need to open the report/app permissions and add a new external user email. They will receive an invitation, which they have to confirm. 

You can check in the admin center, that a new guest email was generated (something like instead of rick@abc.com rick_abc.com#EXT#@YourOrganisationDomain.onmicrosoft.com).

The reader, which must have PRO and a higher licence will then be able to access it via:

 Kudos and mark as solution appreciated.

@zenisekd ,

In the above explained method, Is it possible to share the report to external users without adding them to AAD?

Unfortunately that video does not meet my requirements. Let me know if there is any workaround.
