App sharing outside organization
Hello Stacey_Griffeth
In Premium capacity, you can share content with external users, but they need permission not just to view the app/dashboard, but also the underlying dataset. So add your guest users (or a group they’re in) and give them at least 'Read' access ('Build' if they need to use it for their own reports)
Hi Stacey_Griffeth ,
This might be an issue of permissions or licensing. Since you have premium and you shared to the external user, did you share with an internal userid or an external userid and is that userid the one they are sgining into with?
Next, are you using RLS and they are excluded from seeing the data? Or, have you shared the dataset behind the visuals with that user or group of external users? Also, since you could share in the first place, you probably have external sharing turned on at the Power BI Tenant level, but, have you confirmed that your B2B setting are allowing external sharing?
Hi collinq thanks so much for the suggestions! Yes, sharing is enabled on the tenant. Each of the external users is created as a guest user and received an invitation to join the tenant as a guest. They are seeing the dashboard which indicates to me they are correctly signed in. There is no RLS being used. I have not shared the dataset as I do not share it with internal users either. I created an app from the workspace with the dashboard and supporting reports visible to the app audience. Any other suggestions?
