    I did create a ticket to get this solved, and the solution was simple.

    For external users to be able to get data from a composite model, they need to be set with a permission level of at least "Member".

    As this happened on a call, I'm not a 100% sure if this actually was the case, but I believe it was said that for composite models to work from different workspaces, a user needs to have the same type of access on both workspaces as well. "Member" and "Member" is fine, "Member" and "Admin" could mess up. Again, not totally sure if I understood that point correctly, but it was repeated to set the level to the same.

     

    So end of my story was:

    I created a central workspace for any current and future datasets we might use in composite models, added the external users as "Member" of this workspace.

    I then put the permission level to "Member" in the "app"/"report" workspace, and they could see data.
