Helper ISharing content with external users - problem with license!
Hi.
I would like to inform you that I have solved the problem.
Our solution (approach 3) is working perfectly fine now. Guest user's Pro licence is enought for this approach to work!
What did I done...I added/invited another external user to access my PB content. Second user did't get warrning to upgrade Pro license to Premium Per user after she accepted the invitation and accessed the PB content. Obviously a Pro license is enough.
Then, the first user, which has license issue, has removed the Power BI Premium per user trial license from his account and she still retained access to the content with his Pro license.
So, the problem are solved. But I still don't know, why first quest user get warrning to upgrade his Pro license to Premium per user, before she accessed PB content. This still remains a mystery!
Community ChampionIndeed, it all would work when you have Premium Capacity Workspace
In your case she needs a license from your organization and that external user you have added to ADD. the one I showed you earlier has been given a Pro license under our organization, it means we pay for his License. Microsoft wouldn't offer things for free lol.
Helper II use approach 3, Guest users bring their own Power BI Pro license
My external user already has Pro license. There is nothing free! She pay for it, lol.
So, why she cannot use my app with Pro license? MS documentation clearly state, that she need only Pro license in my case.

LOL i know she paid for her License but she didn't pay for her License inside your organization. You are Contoso in all aproaches. Contoso needs Premium workspace capacity. After all that's why Premium is supper expensive for small Org
Hey I am sure you guys have an extra Pro license in your organization (Microsoft offers 25 licenses) try one and see how it works

I totally disagree with you.
Yes, I can buy and assign Pro license to external user inside my Azure AD tenant. But this is exactly what is stated in approach 2. I belive this aporoach will work.
But, in my case, external user already have Pro license (approach 3). Why should my organization buy another Pro license for user, who already have Pro license. This is bizarre!
By the way, the Premium license is not so expensive if you use Premium per user license. This license is new and is suitable for small or medium-sized companys. But even in my case, this license is not needed!
Can you explain me the difference between approach 2 and 3, as you understand it.
