Data access problem

I shared my dataset with external users. I add an external user in the Azure active directory as a guest user. I create a new workspace and publish the pix file in that workspace. In managing access I add that user as a member and also from the setting I enable the data sharing tab. From the admin portal, I also enable all settings that are necessary as an external user. I gave grant access to external users. But when as an external user I tried to access the dataset I received a message that "Sorry, we could not find this dataset". I have a Pro license and as an external user, I am using the free account.

Hi @andleebRaja ,

The guest user must have the proper licensing in place to view the content that you shared. There are a few ways to make sure the user has a proper license:

  • Use Power BI Premium capacity.
  • Assign a Power BI Pro or a Premium Per User (PPU) license.
  • Use a guest's Power BI Pro or PPU license.

For more details, you can read related document: Distribute content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
