    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    • Does turning on the "Allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization" provide external users access to use comments in Power BI apps? Or do I have this worng and there is something else at work here?

    Yes. You could turn it on to make external users use comments.

    • If we enable this feature for the organization, would external users have access to the underlying workspace for app they are provided access to?

    No. The permissions of app are just aim to app users. They don't affect the users who have access of workspace. You could disable the options like below. (Reference: Allow users to connect to datasets ).

    For existing app users, permissions on the underlying datasets don't change. You can remove Build permission manually from app users who should no longer have it. Read more about the Build permission.
