Can you share a single Report inside an App with External User
- 8 years ago
So is there any requirement to make them a guest account on the domain as discussed in the B2B

or is it if you share a report you are effectively making them a guest account on your domain? The documentation is a little unclear to be honest and the way this worked has evolved as features have been released.
Is there a difinitve guide that explains the process i can review and also explain to clients as security is also a concern!

If you have Power BI Pro, and if the user you are sharing the report with has a Power BI Pro license, then they do not need to be a guest user on your tenant. The external user will need to have a Power BI Pro license to view the report - if they don't you will need to set them up as a guest on your O365 tenant and assign them one of your Power BI Pro licenses. If you have Power BI Premium, the external users do not need a Power BI license, but I am not sure if they would then have to be a guest user on your tenant.
