Hi Anonymous ,

 

We need a bit more information to help you out here.  Is this a Report Server?  Is this Premium alone?  Is this for one individual person's license?  Is this for an O365 tenant that does not have Premium or Server but has a number of users?

    hi collinq - this is a Power BI Tenant Setting

     

    Not a report server. Nor a setting specific to premium capacity.  It's the first option in Export and sharing settings.

      Ok Anonymous ,

       

      I think I understand now - that setting is DISabled by default.  That setting applies to users with UserType set to Guest in Azure AD.

      We have the same experience - even though this is Enabled (and have been for many months) we cannot get the Guest users to see any content under "From External Orgs" in iether the web-app or mobile-app.

      Furthermore, we got this yellow box shown, which I'm not certain how we should understand - is it feature-description or a real notification/telling that for this tenant guest users wont have access to content even though it's shared and they got permissions!? Would be very strange though, since this is actually the only thing this feature/switch should allow.
