    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!

Hummm, Your questions are out of context lol, eventhough I kinda answered them indirectly through my posts but was nice chatting with ya.

Anyway, I can tell you and assure you that I have been through your endeavour and neither approach will work for you without a Premium workspace capacity.

However i will stay in peace and tuned to hearing back from you on how it's gonna work out for you.

Peace.

I just wanted to know if I am talking to someone who knows Power BI technology. Nothing else. Sorry if my question was too personal, that was not my intention.

 

I will definitely let you know when I solve the problem.

 

Bye

    Hey borutsustar 

    According to this article I must apologie to you https://www.bluegranite.com/blog/azure-ad-b2b-sharing-power-bi-reports 

    And I have to go back to my project and see why it didn't work out for us either.

     

    The key word stays on the warning the user receives "need Power BI Premium per user licence" !!

    I would speculate on the way both of you are registered under your respective Tenants!

     

    Again, sorry but keep me updated.

    Thanks
