Sharing App with External Organization: "Need Permissions" on a single report error.

I am sharing an app externally.  The guest users are able to access the app,  however, on one of the reports is copied from another workspace and running of that workspace's dataset.  On this report the guest users are getting an error:   "need permissions". 

 

I thought if I shared in the app they would have access. Is there a step I am missing in sharing this report from their designated app?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Allisond 

 

Currently if you are using a dataset in another app workspace, those users who are interacting with the report will need build permissions on the dataset in the OTHER app workspace.


Once that is done it will then work.
