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.
That is because you don't have permission to access to the Power BI Admin Portal.
Your account needs to be marked as a Global Admin, within Office 365 or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), or have been assigned the Power BI service administrator role, to get access to the Power BI admin portal.
It is in here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal
Ho ok...
I'll check with my group if this could be possible for me to have this admin right.
I'll let you know how well that worked out.

Hi Anonymous ,
Whether the workaround which provided by smarthp29 is working for you?
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.
