Giving direct access to PowerBI report within Teams to externals

I have a report that has been added onto a teams channel. Is there a way I can give access directly to external Teams member without having to approve their request everytime? should they not have access to the report once they've been added to the Teams channel?

Hi @katto2908 ,

 

Get a security group and provide viewer role to it.Whenever you are adding new user to that group just provide access to user to that security group.

I hope it will be helpful.

 

Thanks,
