    Thanks for the reply from Expiscornovus.

     

    Hi mterry ,

     

    It is recommended that instead of directly copying the URL link of the report you should click on Share and copy the link, the direct copying of the link assumes that your colleague already has access to the particular report.

    Secondly, make sure that the person being shared is in the same domain as you, if not set them as a guest user.

    Additionally, make sure that the person being shared has access to the semantic model of the report, you might consider granting them the role of workspace

     

    Best Regards,
    Zhu

Hi mterry 

When you share a direct link to a Power BI report, users without access can't request access. To allow them to request access, you need to use the "Copy link" option from the Share menu in Power BI. This generates a link that lets users request access if they don't have permission.
