Guest User - Publishing

Hi there

I would suggest getting a user account in the domain where you want to deploy the PBIX Report. It makes it a lot easier to develop and use.

They can always re-use the Power BI Pro license when the work is done.

Hi czedge ,

If  you try to connect to datasets in the Power BI service from Power BI Desktop, the connection of the dataset is live connection. Once the pbix file with live connection to the dataset in the Power BI service is published to the workspace, there's no data model created.

In addition, Guest users can't use Power BI desktop to connect to service datasets in the Power BI service.
