are you really publishing to the Web or are publishing to a Workspace within your corporate space?

    My current method of publishing is within the Workspace within the corporate space. I'm not able to share my web dashboard with anyone outside my corporate (as I cannot send any shareable links directly from within the Power BI webpage.

     

    However, what if someone shares a link through a forwarded email from within the corporation to someone outside the corporation ?

     

    So, I wanted to understand if anyone with internet access can also open the link?

      If you use "Publish to Web" then:

       

      Yes, it is 100% open to the Internet with no authentication/authorization required.

        Thanks for your response. Would this also be resulting the same affect, if I publish it to a Workspance ?

        Beacuse at the moment, when I click Publish to Web, I get My Workspace as a clickable item.

         

        Isn't the "My Workspace" actually a private cloud which is restricited only to co-workers from within my organisation ?
