Hi Anonymous ,

We can share the dashboard or report with the external users by Azure AD B2B, they receive an email with a link to the shared dashboard or report. They must sign in to Power BI to see what you shared, and it is required to have a Power BI Pro license when view and interact with the report. The external user can view and interact with the dashboard or report, but can't share it. They see the shared dashboard or report in its own browser window, not in the usual Power BI portal. To access this dashboard or report later, they must bookmark the link.

In addition, we can share the dashboard or report with external user by publish to web. But it is not recommended... Because anyone on the Internet can view your published report or visual when they have the related link. And it does not require any certification... So before use Publish to web, please make sure it is OK if share the data publicly.

The more important point is these shared dashboard or report by the above 2 methods will not display in "shared with me" section... 

Best Regards
