Helo again GilbertQ 

 

I'm still unable to test this solution, but after carefully reading I think this is not covering 100% our gaps. 

 

-Correct me if i'm wrong, but with this approach Ican share my App in the AppSource with dummy data. Can I just share to specific users these app but connected to the correct db? The thing is that the database it's in "our" side, not on the client side. 

 

With our approach we were creating an App (workspace) for each Client consisting actually in the same pbix/pbit reused but connected to a different db. 

 

ie.

   Workspace "COMPANY 1" -> connect to db "com1_DB" -> same PBIT/PBIX development

   

   Workspace "COMPANY 2" -> connect to db "com2_DB" -> same PBIT/PBIX development

 

Is there any easier or better way to do this for multi-client (multi-company) organization?

 

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi Anonymous ,

 

It is by design that external user can't access the app shared from other organization  in 'shared with me'. They can only access by shared link from e-mail.  If you use the template app , it will be public. 

 

So, you can use pbit file instead. But as you mentioned, they would connect to different db. 

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
