Hello
I am trying to use power BI upload files feature with a guest user i created in AAD using a custom email-id
because thats how you invite a user, i have not assigned any roles to that external user he already has a power BI pro licence under this email-id.
After i share access to a worksapce to that external user, that user is not able to UPLOAD FILES to server (.pbix files).
Am i missing anything here, do i need to assign any roles or does he need a premium license to upload files.
Please Help.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Guest user can use your report or worksapce by your tenant url.
AS a guest user, they will have some limitations.
They couldn't direct publishing from Power BI desktop to the Power BI service.
For more info you can refer to this blog.
