If your organisation is using Power BI premium, you are allowed to share content with any Power BI user, even those on the free tier. A more common scenario is for you to be using Power BI Pro. In that case, the users outside the organisation need a pro or premium license. If they don’t have one, you can assign them a pro license, which will enable them to view your content, but they’ll be “pro” only under your organisation.

Just an additional hint from my experience. If you add a ProLicence to a guest user, the guest user needs to log in first before you can add him to row level security...
