Thanks. Thats what we did. Created a group and added external users. External Users are able to access SharePoint Site but not the report embedded. Seems issue with Power BI license, though error doesnt specifically mention that.

 

We could share individual report to external users as well right? doesnt have to be embedded in SharePoint or in separate app. This also possible right?

 

Note: Internal users are able to access report without issues.

    Hi shamsvp1985 

    You can publish the report to web, external user can visit the report without license,

    You can refer to the following link:

    Publish to web from Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Best Regards!
