That sounds like you need to address some setting in the power bi admin portal.
To make things easier, both above options must be enabled. You dont need global admin if both are enabled.
Use security group to govern the use of the externel users invite.
I confirm both options are enabled to the entire organization and I still have the error message.
Sounds like your Global Admin probably has enabled a global setting (this takes precedence over Power BI tenant settings) when it comes to adding Guest users into your tenant (external users).
In this case, yes you have to contact your Active Directory admin to add the external users to the guest AD before you can share reports to them.
Your AD admin will send an invite to your guest, and they have to accept before you can share reports to them. If they dont accept the invite, they will not be added to the guest AD and you can share the reports out.That's exactly how it's working, do you know where and what is this specific global setting in his pane?
Thanks
