    Hi drewbios

     

    • Guest users who use this capability should have a work or school account.

                

    • If the guest user's organization have blocked the invite, that may caused by this issue:

             Organization can't set up an allowlist abd a blocklist together. By default, whatever domains aren't in the allowlist are on the blocklist, and vice versa. you can connet the admin to add your organization to allowlist.

     

    Besides, Power BI embedded analytics may helps you. Power BI embedded analytics offers two solutions:

    Embed for your customers

    The embed for your customers solution allows you to build an app that uses non-interactive authentication against Power BI. Your customers are likely to be external users, and they don't need to sign in using Power BI credentials to view the embedded content. Typically, this solution is used by independent software vendors (ISVs) who are developing applications for third parties. 

    Embed for your organization

    The embed for your organization solution allows you to build an app that requires signing in using Power BI credentials. Once signed in users can only consume embedded content, they have access to on Power BI service. This solution is aimed at large organizations that are building an app for internal users.
