Can't create an embed code to share a public report

I want to create a link that has public access. I have uploaded a report to Service. I have gone to File | Embed report | Publish to web.  It tells me to "contact your admin to enable embed code creation".  I go to Settings | Tenant Settings and Publish to Web - Enabled for the entire organisation. Block Public Internet Access is disabled for the Entire organisation. What am I missing? Thanks.

Hey @agwalsh1812 ,

 

to achieve this:

It is required that the following options are set in the tenant setting like so:

Block public internet access

And publish to web

You also have to check the limitations, meaning when the "Publish to web" function is not available:

Hopefully, this helps to tackle your challenge, if not provide screenshots.

 

Regards,

Tom

 

P.S.: I'm tired of mentioning that "Publish to web" comes with security concerns"

I had nearly all those steps - grrrr. The one I had missed was to tick the box to allow new and existing codes.. It's now working fine. Thank you so much.
