Hi all! I published a report to Power BI Service. Now I'm trying to share it with users within my Azure AD. Instead of share it with individual users (what is already working), I am trying to share it with a group within my Azure AD.
Within the Azure admin portal, I made different security groups within the Active Directory.
Nevertheless, in Power BI Service I can't see the groups which I defined.
Does anybody have experienced the same?
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I solved the problem. There isn't a solution for this problem, because it is just not possible to share a report with someone who is an 'external active directory' user within the same tenant. So there are basically two options:
1. You have to add the domain of the emailadress from your 'external active directory user' in your Azure Active Directory as a custom domain name. (you also have to change the DNS settings in the server in that specific domain)
2. You have to make a new user (so not a guest user) within the Azure AD and give that user an emailadress with the same domain name as the owner of the Azure tenant. (The disadvantage of this is that the user can't use their own emailadress by logging in into Power BI)
Hi @thimweijden ,

Hi @thimweijden ,
Could you have tried to go to O365 group to find the related group Email and share your content to it?

Thanks for your reply! Currenty we don't have access to O365. Instead of that we use the Azure Portal.
I also made the different AD groups within the Azure Portal and not in O365.
Hi @thimweijden ,
If you want to share your dashboards/reports for a whole group, you need to find the emial address for your group, but based on my test, it semmed that you just could find the email in O365:

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your help!
So like I understood from your answer it is only possible with O365 and not with the Azure portal only?
Below you can see, that there isn't any group email for the specific Azure group.
Hi @thimweijden ,
Yes, I have found for the email in AAD before and I have not found any email address, so I searched for you and post the previous answer for you. So I suggest you to find the email address in O365 you could get the address easily.
