Sharing a report with link to external users

bhargavanand , I think you need to review the permissions at the app workspace, report, and dataset levels, because by default behavior is that they should be able to access the report without requiring direct access to the underlying dataset (semantic model)

Here are a few factors that can affect access:

1. App Workspace Permissions: Ensure that the external users have appropriate permissions at the app workspace level. They should have at least "View" access to the workspace where the report and dataset reside.
2. Report-Level Permissions: Check the report-level permissions to make sure that the external users have sufficient access rights. They should have at least "View" access to the report.
3. Dataset Permissions: By default, external users should not require direct access to the dataset. The report should be able to leverage the dataset's permissions and provide the necessary data access. However, if the report contains any features that require direct access to the dataset, such as RLS (Row-Level Security) or certain custom visuals, then external users may need direct access to the dataset.
4. Row-Level Security (RLS): If you have implemented RLS in your dataset, ensure that the external users have the appropriate roles and filters applied to their accounts. RLS can restrict data access based on user roles, and if the external users are not assigned the necessary roles, they may encounter permission issues.
