External workspace

Hello everyone

 

I want to get access to an external workspace. The external company has already entered me on the workspace as an administrator. However, I don't see the external workspace. What can be the reason for this?

Hi @freddy21 ,

 

You can access the workspace of an external tenant as a guest user. Please refer to the following steps.

 

1\Ask the administrator of the external tenant to invite you as a guest user in their tenant.

2\Ask the administrator of the external tenant Enable Guest users can browser and access Fabric content feature in Power BI admin portal.

3\Ask the administrator to grant you access to the workspace.

4\Obtain the Tenant URL of the external tenant and navigate to that address.

Afaik, and this is through multiple tests and based on challenges i see in the community , you cant enter an external workspace.

You can log into the external tenant, view reports that has been shared to you and even create a report using a semantic model you are given access to, but you cant see the workspace like how you see it in your own tenant. In this case, you will only have acces sto you external "my workspace".

PS: i really would like to be proven wrong..


Hello @Tutu_in_YYC , it's a pity that this doesn't work.
