External Sharing specifics

Hi all

 

I have, what I think may be, a unique situation at work. I'm bascially looking to enable external sharing with users however parts of our global business are okay with sharing and others are not.

 

I'm in London but our Head office is Canadian. Is there a way to enable just the London team to share external reports and not have others do this? 

 

Would that be through the Office 365 portal OR is it done in Power BI?

 

 

 

thank you all!

@Anonymous You can accomplish this. There is a setting in Power BI Tenant settings called "Share Content with External Users"

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal

These settings can allow certain security groups to have access to the functionality, while others in the organization who are not part of that group would not be able to. See the link above for details.

You must be a Power BI Administrator, or O365 admin to see the "Admin Portal" in the Power BI settings drop down. "Tenent Settings" is in the Admin Portal of Power BI.
