PBI sharing with external users!!!
- 4 years ago
It is, and licensing needs vary. I suggest you start here - Share Power BI reports and dashboards with coworkers and others - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
When you share data with an external user, they get added to the AAD as a guest if you have permissions to share and guest sharing is enabled. THey will have to authenticate. MS will usually send them a separate code to their email. It prevents that recipient from forwarding the URL to someone else. If the 3rd person clicks on the link, the authentication from MS goes back to the original guest, not whomever has the link. But it depends on what your Office 365 admin and Power BI admin have enabled in the various and overlapping sharing permissions for your tenant.
Thank you so much!
I checked our settings and in our tenant everything related to AAD guests / Invite externals is enabled to entire organization, except editing, it's enabled for a specific security group only.
From your answer I understood that with those settings, it's enough to send the link to an external person. The AAD entry will happen in the background (that would be the best case for me). Is that corect?
