Sharing with externals users problems
Hello, actually nothing has been working for me so far.
I have asked to my client to provide me an email from their company, so i can share to them important report, but it's not the way i wan't to perform it. It will be a solution for a short time.
Hi Anonymous ，
It seems that you want to make external users to see the shared contents in "shared with me" as well as the users in the organization. According to my survey, the current ways to share contents with external users are by Azure AD B2B or Publish to Web, and neither of these two methods can satisfy your requirements... Anyway, I will continue to check if there is other method.
Best Regards

There is a workaround to do this. On the Power BI Guest portal for your external users where they are landing from the link, create a workspace for them and give them access as a contributor.
They need to have access to the backend database with is connected with the dataset.
You can load a blank .pbix file with the required dataset that you want to share.
Since the external user has a contributor access to the workspace, he can download the file and use that dataset.
If you want them to upload something, you can create another workspace in order to make sure that no additional datasets are available and then they can pull the file from the Power BI Service through Get File option.
How can i have access to the guest portal while i'm in PBI ?
I have no idea how you can do this (if it's even possible) because it's the first time i heard of this "method".
This is what guest sees when they clic on the link (received by mail) :I don't understand either about the access of the backend database.
what is the approach, the steps, to be followed ?Hello, @Calloud please ensure you have checked the option "Share content with external users" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal#export-and-sharing-settings)
And if you want them to access Workspaces, you also have to check the option "Allow external guest users to edit and manage content in the organization" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal#allow-external-guest-users-to-edit-and-manage-content-in-the-organization)
This will fix your problem
Hi,
