Allow external users to share reports

Hi!

 

I'm having problems with allowing an external user to share a report to other users at his company. I've set up a shared workspace where I Allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization, which works great. My guest is able to access the workspace and create reports based on the datasets in it. 

 

The problem is when he in turn tries to share the report with his collegues. When he does the recieves an "Permissions required" error, even though he is a workspace admin.

 

I've ensured that the "Guests can invite" setting is enabled in Azure AD External collaboration settings.

 

Is there some setting I'm missing, or how do I enable my guest to share the reports from the workspace with his collegues?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try to invite his colleague to become a guest user before sharing.

He is still unable to share the report with the newly created user.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you set the 'Guest users permissions are limited' option?

Azure AD B2B Guest users can now edit and manage content in Power BI to collaborate better across organizations 

 

And your guest user's colleagues still need to be invited as your tenant's guest user.

That's probably it!

 

I wont be able to use the solution though, as that would reveal too much information about other customer-users in our tenant and I'm guessing there is no way to do this without a dropdown-list which lists all avaliable accounts...

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The 'No' setting means guest user have the same access to directory data that regular users have in your directory.
