Allow external users (outside organization) to edit reports

[elim555]

Hi all,

I shared a report and semantic model to external user and granted them build access. The external user was able to create a report using the shared semantic model, but after saving it, they can no longer edit it.

How can I enable the external user to edit the report they created?

Hi @elim555 Inorder for the external user to edit the report please try this 

• Grant reshare permission to ensure the user has access to the dataset or model.
• Add them as a member or contributor to the workspace.
• Confirm Azure B2B collaboration is enabled for external access.
• Suggest saving the report in a workspace where they have edit rights.
• Ensure the external user has a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User license.
