Sharing reports to external users

Hi,

 

Is it correct that if you share a report to an external user, the only way to access this, is through the link received? shouldn't it be available on the "shared with me" tab in Power BI web? 

 

In my case, the link works fine, but I see it as a not so good solution that external users have to bookmark the url within the Browser or open it again by finding the e-mail that the user received. Is it something that I'm missing here?

 

Best Regards Terje Fjeldstad

@Anonymous You are correct on both accounts. When you share externally they have to save the link. And yes, it is a poor end user experience.
