Hi kk0036,

 

I have a few questions about this.

1. Who did only see the flashing logo in the middle? The external user?

2. Did you share something with others or publish the App?

3. Did you enable the external sharing?

    1. Yes the external user got the flashing screen

    2. I have done both, published and app and shared a report

    3. My hope is that I can enable it just for a sub-set using the specific security groups function

     

    Again all of the users have pro, the dummy user is external to my tenant (added in azure b2b area with assigned license), and the people in the security group are myself and the only other user that should be allowed to share externally.

      Hi kk0036,

       

      I found this is a known issue. The workaround is adding the external user to the Security group if possible. I tested it successfully. And this issue will be fixed in about 27th Feb.
