    Hi SeekingHelp,

    Scenario 1:
    You said the external user only have Free license, but the external user can access the workspace as Admin. That is an indication that the external user is using a Trial license, and this will expire. Ask you user to confirm this in Poewr BI service ( refer snapshot )

     

    Scenario 2:

    The external user has to log into your domain (e.g yourdomain.com) when opening up the pbix, but still sign in with the external users email (e.g [email protected]). This way the proper connection to the right domain (yourdomain.com) can be established. Try the following steps:

    Step 1:

     

    Step 2:

     

    Step 3:

     

    Step 4: 

     

    Step 5:

     

    Step 6:
    External user sign in with his/her email e.g [email protected]

Tutu_in_YYC Thank you for your help.

It's working now - but it's kind of an ugly workaround as the external user must sign in the same way you described every time he opens a new PBIX file. 

Anyways, if there's no way to store that sign-in information, we will work with that.
